Stuart Bogie

Composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Bogie discusses November Variations, his yearly five night improvised concert series with composer and organist Buck McDaniel and his career as a highly sought after collaborator on stage and in studio with artists across the musical specturm. We discuss the magical years of the early-2000s Brooklyn scene, how walking into a room and fitting in to an ensemble is an improvisational instinct, and how preparing for five nights creating fully improvised music requirers no rehearsal, but a lot of practice.
