Tribute to Paul Motian @ Symphony Space 3/22/13

I enjoyed the venue and the show was a jam-packed wonderful tribute.  Take a look at that the program below.  You know it was stellar.  It went from improvisation to straight-ahead and all over the place.  It was definitely a special treat to be there.
