Primal Elegance |
|
My first CD, "Primal Elegance", features selections from private sessions recorded at Connie Crothers' former Manhattan studio from June 1997 to January 2001. All of the music is freely improvised by Connie (piano) and myself (guitar). It is not Jazz or Rock ... and it is not even fusion! The music is representative of what actually happens when musicians get together and try to create something new, without regard to any commercial considerations. "Art" is not a pretentious word in this context ... Speaking only for myself, I'm not making any claims to greatness or contemporary relevance. I just have a need to use the creative part of myself ... That's what artists basically do!
It's also our First Amendment right.
