Today's episode is a recording of our recent live event, which took place at The Royal Room in Seattle, WA, on June 22, 2024. The event, Improvisation in Music and Life, featured Spotlight On host Lawrence Peryer in conversation with and performances by James Falzone's Division Ensemble.The Division Ensemble is a group of master improvisers that includes James Falzone on clarinet, Ray Larsen on trumpet, Wayne Horvitz on piano, Abbey Blackwell on bass and Rocky Martin on drums.
The show featured an exploration into the nature of improvisation in music and how its principles are relevant to all aspects of life. James and the band performed his compositions as well as a completely free, composed-in-the-moment piece.
The conversation was rich, and the music was superb. We were so fortunate to share the stage with these talents and are eager to share this with you.
