Click the play button to listen
This week we try to squeeze into a couple of hours a discography that spans over three decades and illustrates the artistic trajectory of a key figure in the famed New York downtown scene that continues to be at the forefront of creative music. In this first part, we focus on some of his projects as a leader and on his ongoing collaboration with Bill Frisell.
Hank in there! Happy Hanksgiving!
