about

In November of 1986 Paul Winter invited Paul Halley and me to record some duets in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. Though we came prepared with some composed pieces, Paul Winter suggested that we try improvising a bit to loosen up. The resulting improvisations became the album New Friend, and the piece First Ride was the first of our duets to really take flight. Since we wanted to include the piece in our concerts we transcribed our improvisation, and it has become a staple of our repertoire. This performance with Tim Ray is from “Colorful Transitions.”
