ROCCO JOHN and friends celebrate the legacy of WILL CONNELL – a mEyeFi exclusive.

PEACE AND LOVE was recorded during what would have been Will Connell‘s residency at The Stone, John Zorn’s performance space in NYC. This music instead became Rocco John and his Improvisatory Composers Ensemble‘s memorial to Connell. The octet plays this expansive music with fervor and clarity honoring the late, great Will Connell.
