During the course of High Zero 2000, The Mount Royal Studio (formerly Social Services)
was the site of a series of professional session recordings of
various improvisors from the festival. It was an amazing time.

Many thanks to engineer Charlie Jameson for his generosity, skill, extreme patience,
and grace under pressure (even with unreasonable dynamics).
