2011

I'm sure there is more stuff from 2011 that I just haven't found yet. This was a big year for Second Nature — John Berndt's improvising orchestra. John always called large group free improvisation "the research frontier" of improvisation. I can get with that. There is something mind expanding just in the act of carefully paying mind to that many improvisers all at once while trying to be free and honest in your own contribution at the same time.
