Fresh surprises . . .
wonders most improvisers relish
more than anything else
and strive toward
Now, a fourth collaboration on record
reuniting myself with David Liebman
Our first day unveiled challenges
a search for fresh trio material(s) equilibrium
unexpectedly yielding concise ritual works, ala my Sanctuary
structured, mobile-like, spontaneous creation du jour
Occasional ‘conduction’ between segmented movements, a guide to collaboration partners
Decidedly, a series of immediate blushes – floating in space – to be organized by listeners
Spacious; patient; sensitive; a frequent hush; earnest; genuine
50 years of David Liebman in my ears, since Xmas of ’72
35 years of Drew Gress framing me in my best light
Ecstasy / freedom / changes / pride / relief
Ending one era, welcoming the new
Impacts(?) — may all witness
A fine, fitting adios,
until three . . .
