Friday, December 1st, 2006 ... 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. ... KZSU, 90.1 FM

It was a treat to continue the promotion of the Phillip Greenlief, Joelle Leandre, and Maggie Nicols show that's coming up Dec. 3, 2006, at the Community Music Center in San Francisco's Mission District. I'd started this last week with the receipt of the Greenlief/Leandre CD that's coming out on Evander Music any day now.

Phillip was gracious enough to do an interview, where we talked about the nature of free improv music and the respective resumes of Leandre and Nicols, two very well regarded musicians in European free improv. (For more on the genre, do check out Peter Stubley's excellent European Free Improvisation Pages.)
