General Information

The live recording from a living room in Berkeley, California of the first meeting between Boston-based saxophonist/composer Ken Field (sopranino saxophone, flute, percussion) and San Francisco-based musicians Eric Glick Rieman (prepared piano) & Karen Stackpole (gongs and percussion).  Taking place in February 2019, during a two-night stopover on Field's return from Australia, the release captures the spontaneous energy and evocative creativity of that evening's events.
