Music with Andrew Voigt
On Tuesday night (3/2) I got together with my longtime friend, woodwind player and composer Andrew Voigt and played music at his place in Oakland, California. We drank tea and then played a piece where Andrew mostly used bass flute.
We took a break and listened to some music recorded by Cookie Marenco of OTR Studios and Blue Coast Records. Cookie recorded our first "album" in the 80s and also recorded Trio-Tri-National with Flavia Cervino-Wood, Marilyn Lerner and myself in the 90s.
Then we did another piece where Andrew mostly played tenor sax.
It was great to make music with Andrew again. It's been a little too long since the last time. Plus it was great to play my San Francisco bass. I'm sure it's been lonely.
Oh yeah, I did not have a tuner nor a tuning fork so had to tune my strings up by ear (and they were completely loosened for storage). I used the high-G tinnitus as a guide. I guess, if I have to have that problem, I might as well get some use out of it!
