[LIVE SET: ROB MAZUREK & THE BLACK GOAT ENSEMBLE- my first foray into live recording, this set was recorded by Dan Ruccia and arranged by myself and Karen Jagelle. It turned out quite nicely I think- a solo set from Rob on Powerbook and moog, with the ensemble improvising over about 9 minutes in; driving bass riffs and Rosaly's drums holding it all together as Rob and Steve Swell dished out twisting melodies on cornet and trombone. Thanks to Rob and the ensemble as well as Karen and Dan for a great set and new edition to Princeton's library.]
