Flakes

No, it's not the name of the group (but maybe it should be). It's another one of the pieces that I'll be playing with Alexander Vogel, Dan Clucas, Jeff Schwartz, and Rich West at the Battery Books and Music on Thursday 4/12 at 7 PM (disregard the 8 PM times on the older posts). In addition to the music of Mr. Lacy there will be more music by Albert Ayler, Dave Holland, Ornette Coleman, and Thelonius Monk. Great pieces, great improvisers, what more do you want?

Easter Ham

I know a ham is pre-cooked, but smoking one adds great flavor. I ditched the provided glaze and made a maple bourbon one instead. No real maple syrup on hand, so I used pancake syrup. No complaints!

Dee Dee

Here's another Ornette Coleman composition that I'll be playing with Dan Clucas, Jeff Schwartz, Alexander Vogel, and Rich West on Thursday 4/12 at the Battery Books and Music in South Pasadena. Rich remembered playing this with Lynn Johnston in the past, and I have a memory of that as well. Nice to revisit this piece.
