The Wooden Bird – a jazz suite in three chapters. Springs from a multi-media event in 1992 where original poetic/narrative text, complementary paintings, and integrative music formed an exhibition at the University of New Brunswick’s Art Centre. Click here for a visual view of text and paintings.

In the next chapter, new jazz compositions embracing avian-sounds (including the birds of Maui) will form the baseline for recording live in performance (at a future date). I envision a collaboration among piano, acoustic bass, vocals and spoken word jazz.
