A Letter - Scrape with Ahamefule Oluo by Jim Knapp from our Jan 10th, 2019 concert at the Chapel Part of the Wayward music series

Thank you players! And huge thank you audience! So nice to get a crowd on a hot Monday night :)

Scrape is a string orchestra with harp and guitar that functions somewhat like a jazz group. There are solo and ensemble improvisations and the compositions are unique to Scrape. There is no conductor and rehearsals involve a lot of discussion and exchange of ideas.
Scrape began as a conversation between violinist Eyvind Kang and myself. When it was time to activate the concept, Eyvind introduced me to Brianna Atwell who provided valuable assistance in assembling the players. A few years have passed and here we are.
We have a recording available on Origin called Approaching Vyonnes
