2/7 | Friday - First Fridays Downtown in the JMU Music Library, 5 - 8 pm, photography by Greg Versen, performance by David Pope @ 5:30, refreshments provided; free and open to the public. In addition to being an accomplished classical and jazz saxophonist, David Pope has enjoyed an enduring relationship with wood flutes and non-western instruments. After discovering a mysterious Herbie Mann album in his mother’s record collection, he has chased this lifelong fascination with unfamiliar instruments. In his studies with the legendary pioneer Yusef Lateef, he learned to study each instrument so that it might reveal to him the song that the instrument wishes to sing. This method of learning through improvisation and deep listening has informed every aspect of his musical life. Pope is also a builder of instruments, including some from bamboo that he planted in his yard in Harrisonburg.
