Unfortunately, I didn't catch Butch Morris' Conduction with you guys at Font this year, but I just did a Conduction with Butch up here in New Haven, Connecticut last weekend.
What an experience!! There were only 2 trumpets in this one. Myself, and Stephen Haynes. There were 11 of us total, and we had 4 rehearsals at 4 hours each prior to our 2 set performances on Oct 29th here in New Haven Connecticut at a new club (dedicated to new creative original music), called the "Firehouse 12".
It was incredible and a joy to be involved with. We had two sellout sets at around 60 people each and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy it.
It was one of the most challenging gigs I ever did. The concentration involved in watching Butch every second was intense. The sounds and music that emerged was so unique and rewarding.
I would love to do it again.
