One last thing!

CONTINUING ACTION

Music from two past concerts: (1) tracks from the great concert at Ursinus College in 2001 which featured an incredible line-up of players; and (2) the full performance of The Frame of Forever, the poetry project from 2011, a 26-minute adventure in words and music. Also included on the album is an adventurous three-part suite I composed early in 2020 to round out the program on this release.

ON POINT
 

The fifth album release of my long-time ensemble, The Eleventet. The band is on fire as usual on these tracks. There is plenty of hard driving swing, plus healthy doses of other styles and moods. And the cats crush their soloing.
