recording

Precision Valley is a recording of a session taken on the week prior to my relocation from Vermont to Chicago. For the two years prior, Taylor Ho Bynum and I regularly played together, with these musical excursions beginning in a church in Fall 2020, where we were able to play together with ample space to socially-distance from one another. This recording allowed us to lean in and out of various idioms familiar to the organ and brass genre, but allowed space for flights into free and noisy playing as well. This album was recorded on-site at the Thetford Hill Church, which was and still is to this day a significant location in my musical life.
