Musician Malcolm Kogut has been tickling the ivories since he was 14 and won the NPM DMMD Musician of the Year award in 99. He has CDs along with many published books. Malcolm played in the pit for many Broadway touring shows. When away from the keyboard, he loves exploring the nooks, crannies and arresting beauty of the Adirondack Mountains, battling gravity on the ski slopes and roller coasters.
I once held several jazz vesper services for which I procured a small grant. The program lasted ten weeks and we had a lot of fun. This was the sort of music I offered. We invited people to bring their own cushions and pillows and sit on the floor around the piano. We also set out icons and candles.
