I’ve really been enjoying performing my material (which lately has been written with a 9-piece band in mind) with my 4tet which includes John Tegmeyer on clarinet, Cooper Appelt on bass, and James Yoshizawa on drums. These three are also permanent fixtures in my larger ensemble, and the intimate relationship they have with my compositions makes for a musical experience which, for me, is transcendent. Audiences don’t seem to complain much either.
