Curt and I began playing together back in the late eighties, when he was in a trio with Ken Vandermark here in Boston. In 1990, Curt joined Debris, and we’ve been playing together regularly ever since,

Recently, we decided to do some duo performances. Our first show together afer my long hiatus from public performance (2001 – 2007) was at Weirdo Records in December of 2009. (That’s a photo of the performance above, taken by my cousin Sean Byrne.) We shared the bill that night with young Jack Callahan who played a fine set of solo percussion. And as luck would have it, Howard Martin of Foxy Digitalis was there and loved the show, naming it “Best Show of 2009” in their year-end wrap up. (It’s quite a long page, so just search for the word “kilter”.)
