Thanks to the @exceptet.music for inviting me to join them on Jan 22 in Harlem at Mis-en-place. Very excited to join my good friend Jacob Sacks for some duo adventures. @jacobsacksmusic 7:30 pm on Jan 22!

Fun things can happen on the train home from work. This happened on the way home from HADESTOWN with @marikahughes @yoshiefruchter and Chris Tordini. From today’s Metropolitan diary @nytimes @hadestown. A little bit of fun news for a change ;)

We recorded Hompulon at Ibeam this year. Was dreamy. It’s on the streams. There is now a studio duo record and a live sextet. Same material, two approaches. Dana Lyn, Tom Spiker, Jonathan Goldberger, Brian Drye, Tim Keiper. Matt Glassmeyer. Each piece has a thread holding together the free, but the thread changes between pieces—a form, a melody, a ser of instructions, a set of changes. #improvisedmusic #takingturns
