Description: Prem: 1/23/85; Chapel Concert Series, NYC
An improvisation in which the singer sings nonsense syllables as text, and the musical material is exchanged and varied as in a jam session. “Patterned after Bond’s idea of Ella Fitzgerald, the performers let their hair down and sent us back into the cold night with a smile and the feeling that the trip had been well worthwhile.” The Prospect Press
