Ag-33: Lectures in Music
A work in progress-- still exploring with fascination the potential connections between spoken word and music, specifically the melody that is already there when we simply speak. But at last I'm off these poisonous texts I have so little sympathy with, and onto the thoughts of my own mind. I've been teaching thirty years now and have strong ideas about what is important and true. Most of it has never been written down, but at least now some of it is getting recorded in this form.

Ag-35: My ABCs: 26 Songs in English
A suite of songs written in the fall of 2007 and recorded in early 2008, based on titles written on each letter of the alphabet. This one is very focused on the songs themselves and the tracks average maybe 2 minutes 20 seconds. There are funny ones and sad ones and romantic ones, and also, practically for the first time with me, quite a few that you wouldn't put in the jazz category, but more-- ah, what shall we say?-- folk-pop, I guess. Anyway, people seem to like them.
