Essentially: Music and readings with Larry McDonough and Richard Terrill

ESSENTIALLY 

In his new book of essays, Essentially, Richard Terrill tries to identify that which is most important—in pursuit of the arts, in being in nature, in recalling the past. In this service of music and readings, saxophonist/essayist Terrill and composer/pianist Larry McDonough will discuss what they feel is essential in their practice of writing, composing, and jazz performance.
