about

From "Tribute to Julius Hemphill" concert at Wesleyan University's Crowell Concert Series, in 1995. Funded by an NEA grant to Pacific Rim Players. This bit (my trombone improvisational duo with vibist Jay Hoggard, following the opening statement by the whole band) is from Hemphill's "Mirrors," arranged by Marty Ehrlich for the stellar band that night (contract forbids me from naming them).

This was one of the Pacific Rim Players' projects that got transplanted to the East Coast. What I like the most about this track is how it represents the whole evening's successful delivery of adventurous, sophisticated composition and improvisation both, without resorting to over-the-top tactics. Everything was very tasteful, as well as inspired.
