Скачать или смотреть "Butch's Balm" by Mark Dresser

Excerpt from the CD by the Mark Dresser Seven "Ain't Nothing But A Cyber Coup and You" (Clean Feed). From the liner notes: “Butch’s Balm” is dedicated to my friend of more than forty years, the beautiful pianist and teacher Butch Lacy. We last performed together in April 2017 in Denmark, his long-time home. During my visit he played me a solo recording of stark simplicity and pure emotion. After learning of his terminal diagnosis, I sat at the piano and transcribed the first four bars of my memory of the feeling of what he’d played me. The composition evolved over weeks, and when we performed it for the first time in March 2018, Butch had already passed. The last half of the tune was composed after his death.
