Improvisations is an album of all improvised music by Adam Meckler (Trumpet) and Cory Grossman (Cello). Adam and Cory have been making music together for nearly a decade in their chamber group Lulu's Playground, and much of that time has been spent improvising. The album was recorded in the dead of Winter, 2017. The sounds reflect the moods of the season, ranging from strikingly beautiful to anxious and dissonant, aptly paralleling Winter life in Minnesota.
