A fellow traveler made me aware of this 2017 album by Ohio trumpeter and Kenton alum Tim Hagans:

Here is Hagans talking about his CD:

I had not heard of Hagans and wonder if he's still playing these days. Is he in the US or Europe - Does anyone know?

Learned a lot about Cassavetes from your post and excited to revisit his work with a deeper perspective on it. Thanks for sharing.

Cassavetes was brilliant… what America does best: Poe, Whitman, Thoreau, but so many great filmmakers

I love him in Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby” I’m glad I find more insight on his career here. Thank you.
