It’s my season for working on music, once the autumn chores have been put aside. It’s been a year since we moved from the city to the country, a beautiful property, more than 3/4 of an acre, lots of trees, many birds. My winter project is a recording of some pieces from my favourite composers in a B3 Trio format, i.e. electric guitar, B3 organ, drums. Very minimalist but loaded with possibilities and challenges. I’ve already finished Dylan’s “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll”, “Deep As Love” from the young Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen and I’m working on Bill Frisell’s “Strange Meeting.”
