A past improvisation-Jeff Albert, Nick Sanzenbach, Dave Capello

This came up while perusing Jeff Albert's Open Ears blog. It's from Nov. 21, 2007 and sounded pretty interesting after all these years.

Sanzenbach(sax), Capello(drums), Freilich(7string guitar), Albert(trombone)

Complete interview with Jeff Albert, Trombonist and curator of the Open Ears Series.

Jeff Albert is more than just a trombonist.  In starting the Open Ears music series he provided a new local forum for improvisational music, as well as for other forms of music that do not have any easy time getting on the stages of New Orleans venues.  Many groups and associations of musicians have found each other, temporarily or over the long term, from playing in the series and this has changed the face of the creative music scene in New Orleans. 

How did he do it?  What has he done?  Why has he dunnit? What might he do? Listen to him remove some veils.
