about

Recently in my archives I found this recording of Steve Dalachinsky and me improvising together in a practice room at Greenwich House Music School in New York City on 15 Dec 2005. In Steve's memory I publish it now with the blessing of his widow Yuko Otomo, who called it "profound and brilliant." I made it with a Sony TC-D5, a portable audio cassette deck, which I bought in 1979 with the proceeds of a CAPS (Creative Artists Public Service) grant from NYSCA (NY State Council on the Arts). In 1980, I was mugged on a bridge over a stream in the Ramble in Central Park. I was carrying a briefcase. The deck was in it. The mugger threw the briefcase into the stream and took my wallet. Remarkably, the deck was unscathed, and the wallet was found. I was on my way to see Erin Martin, whom I had just met at Roseland Ballroom at a party for CAPS fellows. Five years later we married. Forty-four years later we are still married. The deck is dead, but I thank it for lasting long enough to document, however imperfectly, what Steve and I did together that day.
