about

This is a recording of the first live performance of The Pudge and André Duo, despite André and I being great friends and collaborators since 2016. I'm so proud of the music we made that night and how far we've come as improvisers and friends since we met, constantly uplifting and inspiring each other. After we finished our duo set, we invited up Jordan and Dave, the remaining members of our quartet Natural Flavor, to finish out the show. This piece embodies the energy, democracy, focus, fun and love that Natural Flavor brings to every performance. I'm forever grateful to be able to make music and be friends with these incredible people.

As always, thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Tim Helion for putting on the Laughing Planet jam session for the past 4 years, and for being such an great person and supporter of creative music in Reno. We'd also like to give a big thank you to Thomas Ruffner for recording our set and airing it on his radio station KWNK 97.7, and for being a strong supporter and promoter of local music, art, and business. These guys do amazing work and are a big reason why Reno is such an incredible community to live and make art in.

Finally, thank you to everybody who joined us that night, and to all of you for listening and downloading! Much love.
