00:00:01,267 --> 00:00:03,103
It's kind of fitting 
that you lived here.

2
00:00:03,103 --> 00:00:05,071
Yeah.

3
00:00:05,071 --> 00:00:06,973
I mean, I lived all over New 
York, but when I moved here is 
when I was really

4
00:00:08,742 --> 00:00:10,143
becoming a composer, 
not just a performer.

5
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:14,981
I really started defining my 
voice here in this neighborhood.

6
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:17,650
That's where I wrote

7
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:21,454
my first kind of composition, 
and that was "Aka." That's an 
early piece.

8
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:22,922
Very early.

9
00:00:22,922 --> 00:00:26,126
So is "Aka" a piece that 
you still play today?

10
00:00:26,126 --> 00:00:28,294
Yes. It's I think every time I 
play it, it's a different 
instrumentation.

11
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:31,164
Anything from a solo 
to full orchestra.

12
00:00:31,898 --> 00:00:33,199
All right.

13
00:00:33,199 --> 00:00:34,401
We're going to hear 
that one today.

14
00:00:34,401 --> 00:00:37,237
Oh, yes. We'll hear 
the trio version.

15
00:00:37,237 --> 00:00:38,972
Ken Asalta is going to play 
drums and Linda Oh on bass.

I was starting to get a picture 
of Andy's creative process

19
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:07,000
using bits of jazz, classical 
and alternative music as his
