about

The Open Way

February, 2012: Black Owl was formed when virtuoso sax man, Jesse Catalino Montijo came to Milwaukee. Jesse is an heir of Pharoah Sanders and Joe Bonner, and one of the living greats. Jesse asked me make music with him, so I called the great drummer Ben Hans, who is an old friend of mine and a powerful, artistic musician.

We met at Walls Have Ears studio with no plan save a few titles. Nicholas Elert did a great job engineering. We were all comfortable and in the zone.
We named a tune, didn't discuss any particulars and composed real time or improvised loosely upon existing forms, reinventing familiar structures collectively.
The results here blew all of us away.
We hope you enjoy The Open Way!

Steve
