The Floor Improv Night #51 – May 21, 2012 || For Nick Faigin

Nick and I became friends around 2002. We shared a mutual passion for jazz and soul music & we spent many late evening/early mornings listening to music together — sharing what we knew and blissfully digging every note we heard. Around 2010 I started getting back into shooting video. It was about then that Nick began going to the Floor. He was excited to share it with me and it held great opportunities for capturing video of great musicians and dancers. The first Floor I attended and shot video at was #23. It was also the first time I captured Nick reading poetry. After that first night I was hooked and have never stopped attending. I owe alot to Nick and miss those late night listening sessions. Nick. I dedicate these videos to you. Thank you.
