Wildcard: Hayden Chisholm, Frank Gratkowski

Today’s wildcard improvisation definitely merits two posts. It began as a duo between Hayden and Frank. Now two visuals were immediately striking: while Hayden was bathed in an angelic halo of red curls but his alto looked sort of faded, Frank himself looked kind of grey while his alto is much too sparkling. See the pic. Frank’s sax is really too shiny for him to be taken seriously as a jazz artist.
