about

This Side Closed was an improvisational ensemble that gathered together for a few years in the mid/late 1980's at the Hotel Bretton Hall on 86th and Broadway in NYC. All music was spontaneously composed by the group. This is the first volume in a series of 3 documenting their work as a unit.
