Mary Flower and Leon Cotter make great music on guitar and clarinet: A new album. Coffeeshop Conversations #454

By TOM D'ANTONI  Produced by PAUL K WARD //

A lovely and clever new album from a new duo, Mary Flower and her guitar with Leon Cotter and his clarinet. Just out and worth it. Listen to two tracks here.

Look out! Format change. Mary’s Rag from the new album from Mary Flower and Leon Cotter. The album is called Chants of Rain.

Pretty pretty Clever huh.

They’re both in Studio Blue, Paul K Ward’s place with Paul at the controls. I’m at my desk in Northwest Portland.

This is Leon’s first appearance on Coffeeshop Conversations.

Mary, you wrote Mary’s Rag…and it’ the first tune on the album. Why is that? And how did this inspired collaboration happen?
