our history:
The absolute joy of creating crazy music – an afternoon in Amsterdam November 2017
Amsterdam based flutist Anne La Berge, one of my all time favorite improvisers, happened to be free that very afternoon.
Through the internet I had heard Chicago journalist Peter Margasak talk about trumpeter Jaimie Branch and I checked out some of her music; a wonderful musician, sincere passion she is. Months later my dear NY colleague saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock brought us together with the email message: ‘Ig and Jaimie I want to connect you two’. There is no better combination that I could have gathered for this Saturday afternoon adventure in my home. The perfect match. The absolute joy of creating crazy music.

Anne La Berge invited us to play in Splendor Amsterdam for this occasion: the ideal venue for our acoustic trio.
