Late in 2008, I came across a Craigslist posting that caught my eye. Moving from the "Erotic Service" board to "Musicians," I found another, saying "I've memorized Alan Ginsburg's poem 'Howl' and and want to perform it with music."
The poster, Andoni Bundros, had some apt initial ideas about how to approach the three-section poem, and the more I thought about it, the more intrigued I felt. I spent the next couple of months analysing the the poem and roughing out a performance arc that I thought would work, and in April 2009, we got FivePlay and Andoni together for a walkthrough. To quote the Matadors, I think it's gonna work out fine.

Composer Tony Corman, reciter Andoni Bundros, and the FivePlay jazz quintet are collaborating on a performance of Alan Ginsburg's Howl, with original music.
God, what I wouldn't do for the chance to sing with you guys!!
