Thank you to Chris Benham, James Carney, Rio Sakairi, Ted Reichman, Ohad Talmor, and John Zorn

Thank you to the musicians who’ve played and explored the music from my album Fiction over the past 10 years, including, but not limited to, these people:

James Ball, Dustin Carlson, Kim Cass, Caroline Davis, Jon Elbaz, Mario Fabrizio, Kate Gentile, Sam Gill, Alec Goldfarb, Ben Hoffmann, Kengchakaj Kengkarnka, Davy Lazar, Hayoung Lyou, Nick Millevoi, Sophie Min, Linda May Han Oh, Marta Sanchez, Jay Sawyer, Sara Serpa, Benjamin Shannon, Tyshawn Sorey, Yuma Uesaka, Jeremy Viner, and Anna Webber

This recording is dedicated to the drummers in my life and my heart and mind, a non-comprehensive list:

Kate, my closest musical and creative collaborator (and closest person) with whom I share more overlapping musical and aesthetic predilections than anyone I’ve ever known.

Ches, without whom this and much of my recent music would have been inconceivable, and with whom I learned how to learn these pieces. Hey Chyes.

Dan Weiss, with whom I share a depth of musical connection that leaves me at a loss for words.

Tyshawn Sorey, John Hollenbeck, Rudy Royston, Sean Rickman, Jim Black, Dave King, and Sam Ospovat with all of whom I have had the incredibly good fortune to share long-standing performing associations and friendships.

Tom Rainey, Gerald Cleaver, Nasheet Waits, Marcus Gilmore, Justin Brown, Damion Reid, and Weasel Walter, masters and heroes of the scene.

Jack DeJohnette, Andrew Cyrille, Tony Oxley, Han Bennink, Barry Altschul, Paul Lytton, Joey Baron, and Jeff Watts.

Departed masters: Paul Motian, Sunny Murray, Ed Blackwell, Rashied Ali, and Ralph Peterson.

And Tony Williams.
