1002: Krista Kopper on excavating your creativity

Double bassist Krista Kopper recently released a solo, improvised double bass album titled  “Blessed Are Those Who Mourn” that was inspired by eight women who have been killed while running.

We dig into the story behind this album and much more.  Listen to her solo album as well as my two other improvised duo albums here on bandcamp, and give her a follow on Instagram as well.
