"This hour-long-ish concert, part of Stanford's Chamber Music Live series, features San Francisco improvising genius and legendary instrument inventor Tom Nunn, and yours truly. Tom is the direct inspiration for my own original instruments and so I'm extremely pleased to feature him on this concert.
