The year in improvised music: ‘Everything’s changing. So the music should’

When concerts and in-person gatherings shut down this spring, livestreamed shows quickly started to feel like a glorified last resort. I found myself avoiding them. But a Facebook video caught my eye one day in June, of trombonist Craig Harris performing at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Accompanied by keyboardist Pete Drungle, framed by a flowering grove and a trellis, he played “Breathe,” a suite of concise and soothing music that sounds like the sum of Harris’ experiences on the New York scene since the 1970s.
