Joe Morris has been a great inspiration, mentor and friend to me over the past 8 years. His music is unbelievably rich in motivic development and different kinds of phrasing from genres such as the blues and classical music. I decided to listen carefully to his piece 'Recite' from the 'Elm City Duets' album, transcribe the first section, then improvise using it as a 'Head.' The bowed parts of this piece are supposed to represent the Double Bass.

This setting shows the ease and comfort with which the three are able to play and interact instantaneously. It takes a truly special kind of chemistry to be able to play such improvised music with as much assurance and sense of purpose as this.
