7680 DISCREET STREET
- for double bass and piano

Written for dear friends (and amazing musicians and beautiful human beings) bassist David Murray and pianist Catherine Bringerud, "7680 Discreet Street" is an intentional 'calming down' of my typically manic, agitated and and eccentric music. Both David and Cathy have been through A LOT with my music over the years, and I wanted to thank them with a less bombastic, less frantic, more "normal" piece - calm instead of chaos, tenderness instead of terror, humanity instead of humor, nostalgia instead of nastiness. The ever-shifting harmonic building blocks throughout the piece are inspired by David's obsession with the LEGO culture.�
