2010 - A Musical Retrospective

Well 2010 is about done. It has been a year of joy and a year of sorrows for me and mine. As I get ready for the New Year to come I am releasing this 12 song collection of improvs mostly from posts at ImprovFriday, as a clearing of the musical pallet. Here is wishing the very best to you all in the New Year,
                                  Peace Out,
                                                   Jeff

Jeff Duke (USA) - guitar, oud, electronics, loops
Steve Moyes (England) - guitar, cello, xaphoon, computer processing
