Product Description

This duo of 85-year-old Phil Nimmons and 32-year-old David Braid performs spontaneous music, structured improvisation without any initial conception of structure.

Their debut recording, Beginnings, documents their first performance together. This album is a rare, unedited recording of acoustic jazz created spontaneously by two Canadian composers separated in age by more that 50 years. Recorded live in concert in 2004, Nimmons sat in St. Paul's United Church in Dundas, Ontario, and began to play spontaneously. Braid, gifted with perfect pitch, was quick to join in to complement Nimmons to produce seven improvisations which are abundant in melody, harmony and form.

Phil Nimmons – clarinet

David Braid – piano
