Thank you, sir!
Puttering about in the offerings of @dave-douglas.bsky.social's @greenleafmusic.bsky.social label is increasingly rewarding. This band, for instance -- Douglas, Anna Webber, Jeff Parker, Tomeka Reid, and more -- is highly relevant to my interests.

The second single from Michael Sarian’s forthcoming album 'Esquina' is out now!

“Straight Trash” is a bold, improvisation-forward piece built around graphic scores and open structures that invite real-time collaboration and risk-taking.

It's been 2 months since the release of 'Some Days Are Better: The Lost Scores', and we are delighted that positive reviews continue to roll in!

Thanks to Roger Farbey from the Jazz Journal, who called it a "timely reminder of the outstanding quality of Wheeler's compositions".

Kudos @fightlawler.bsky.social for yesterday's #Peekskill rally. Was one of 200 in overflow crowd. Kudos @dahlialithwick.bsky.social for saying: "This is not a marathon, not a sprint. It's a relay." They're dismantling of our institutions. We all have to do our part, no matter how small. Be there.
