Out of the vault... Live on Echoes!

We were touring with FLOW (Fiona Joy, Lawrence Blatt, Jeff Oster, Will Ackerman) in the fall of 2017. Oster was in the group, Tom was playing bass and keys, and I was playing duets with Will. During the tour, an opportunity opened for the three of us to do an evening of playing at a church (The 1867 Sanctuary) in Ewing, New Jersey. Inexplicably we said yes, and then Jeff and Tom inexplicably convinced me to play electric guitar. We had no material and had never played as a trio before. What could go wrong?

We played a sold out FLOW show at Carnegie / Weill Hall on Friday night, and wandered to New Jersey for our Saturday improv adventure. During soundcheck at 1867 we were feeling things out and played for a bit. When we wound down Tom asked my wife Marie how it sounded and she told us that we had been playing for a solid twenty minutes. I guess we were on to something. Five more audience members showed up and we started to play the show for real... and we WERE on to something.

The next day we wandered into the studio at Echoes to record a Living Room concert with FLOW. Jeff had, in his infinite wisdom, convinced John Diliberto that the trio should record as well. We had no material and had played once as a trio.

This is what happened.
