Gary Chapin

Gary Chapin wrote a lot about this music back in the early '90s, when he was a frequent denizen at the original Knitting Factory, and then he stopped. Now he's doing it again. He lives currently in the Maine woods, while writing and advocating for ethical practices in education. He also plays traditional French music on accordion and has a blog about that (accordeonaire.com). He understands that in the Free Jazz Collective context that might seem weird (and he wondered if he should even mention it) but hey, it's a funny old world with all kinds of people in it.
