Legend has it that Bob Gorry, guitarist and “Go” in Gobruccio, rode the train to NYC and happened upon avant- cornetist Haynes. Gorry going to study composition with Butch Morris, and Haynes doing time with Cecil Taylor, I’m assuming the conversation veered far from sports and weather. On this evening, a small crowd got a glimpse of spontaneous improv. With Gobruccio acting as the “rhythm” section, the group played a series of pieces. Pete Brunelli on fretless bass, and Pete Riccio on spare drums accompanied Gorry and Haynes. Haynes played cornet and what looked like a flugelhorn using a variety of mutes, flowerpots, and cookware to attenuate the sound. This music must be seen live to appreciate the interplay, glad to have it back.
