Jim Gaylord

Brooklyn-based artist and erstwhile violinist Jim Gaylord joins me for this Thanksgiving show. We talk about the structure and practice behind improvisation, and what it means to replace polychromy with white. We also talk about the summer Jim went on tour with Vetiver as a break from grad school (!?).
