Since I was a professional jazz musician in the 1970s and 80s, I thought would be a challenge to make shakuhachi improvisation my topic. I am using this journal as a way to develop my ideas for the workshop, to create a little pre-workshop interest, and more importantly, to explore an approach to improvising that is musically and psychologically integrative. My goal is to work toward my more mature improvisatory voice, with strong roots in shakuhachi aesthetics, phrasing, and the structural rethoric of honkyoku.
