A track from my new album. A trio tune with Charles on Tenor, Brian on drums and me on Chapman Stick… two other tunes were quartet tunes with John on Trumpet/flugelhorn

Nice! If you have a live performance, it would be a good addition to the Jazz Chapman Stick Facebook group.

A Real Jazz Combo! Great! I recognized the name from AZUL also. I love Greg's ensemble music!

The last few minutes of Stella with the Stick/sax interplay is especially wonderful.

Thanks Tony

Yes Stella was one take, when we hit the “harmony” part in the solo duet it was a magical experience! I listened to it back and said , “that’s it” that’s a take

Maybe that was Greg guiding the proceedings!

Yes, that's good!!! Congrats!

Cool! Really great!

Brett, this is a phenomenal recording and performance. Congratulations on capturing what is one of the more spectacular trio recordings with the instrument to date.

Hero card, punched.

The sax + bombastic drummer was Emmett's ideal load out. He wanted a maniacal mathematician of a soprano saxist and a rabid unchained animal behind the kit. You sir have delivered something both he, and Greg, would have loved to see, hear and feel. I know how dear Greg was to you and I feel that in the recording. Man, it is good throughout.

True story, I do recall Greg gushing over your approach to the bass side of Chapman Stick jazz. Said only a bassist could lay it like that and I would have to agree.

Good show Brett.
