Last Forever VideosLast Forever played Merkin Concert Hall on February 7, 2002 for John Schaefer’s concert series/WNYC Public Radio program, New Sounds Live. It was some time after the release of Trainfare Home, and I decided to write all new music for the show. First I determined upon the ensemble: string quartet plus rhythm section. I also got Suzzy and Maggie Roche to join us for a couple songs. For me, the most exciting aspect of the project was the construction of Boll Weevil Blues, which just grew and grew, until it was over 13 minutes long. The performance documentary is by Michael Grenadier. |
