Dick is featured saxophonist with Far Corner, one of Seattle's premier experimental jazz groups.
Dick has been holding down the tenor sax chair in Seattle's La Banda Gozona for a couple of years or so. Check them out at Seattle Center and other ethnic/multicultural venues.
In addition to his idiosyncratic work in jazz, improvisation, and free music, Dick is also devoted to practicing, performing and promoting Chinese traditional music and traditional instruments. I've posted some self-help and educational materials for the Chinese end-blown flute (xiao) on the web: Check it out here. If you are looking for high-quality exotic musical instruments, send me some email, I might be able to hook you up.
Dick works with Seattle's 20-year-old improvisation workshop, the Frog University Players, founded by Al Hood. Check out our next open workshop/rehearsal at On The House, 1205 E Pike St, at 8:00pm some Tuesday.
One of these days, this website will present writings, music, images, and code that document Dick's work in improvisation, healing sound, imagery, software, digital media, experimental formats and novel sonic materials. For now here's a quick sketch of the artist as a getting-older man:
