A few months ago I had the incredible honor of getting to perform on the radio for WTJU’s fall jazz marathon. I’ve been a fan of the iconic noncommercial station since I was 22 years old. Notable previous DJ’s there include: Yo La Tengo’s James McNew, Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich, David Berman (!!), Rob Sheffield, and Jagjaguwar Records founder Darius Van Arman. Below is a clip from that night of my piece “His Fragile Hopes,” with John D’earth, trumpet, Joseph Nichols, bass, and Karl Tietze, drums. Immense thanks to John D’earth for helping an almost unimaginable dream of mine come true.
