New stuff of mine out in a handsome chapbook from Acme Poem Company.  I'll put a couple of sample pages up when I get un-lazy but really you can judge a book by its cover in this case.

The title comes from an interview on The Checkout (http://www.wbgo.org/thecheckout/) with musician (trumpet/flugelhorn) Ingrid Jensen, describing the first time she showed up to jam with some people and brought a fake book (full of the chord changes for the standards they might want to improvise from).  They saw the fake book and told her: "You won't need that."  In the recorded interview she does a great funny imitation of the tone of voice of someone cool dismissing something lame.

Instead, they told her, the idea was to play off what they could see out the window.

Since this is what I do, I thought it was a fantastic title for a collection and she was kind enough to let me use it.

I fell in love with her sound when I heard here soloing with the Maria Schneider Orchestra.  You can hear some of them on Youtube.

NPR recorded a great live show of Ingrid's leading her quintet.  You can hear it (and the interview) by going here: http://www.npr.org/event/music/150361526/ingrid-jensen-quintet-live-at-berklee-concert
