{"product_id":"tether","title":"Tether","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn any band there is a constant push and pull. A state of tension and release between written music and improvisation, between leading and following.

A tether.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor New York-based saxophonist and composer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlden Hellmuth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, that innate sense of connection between bandmates and between the dual states of form and freedom is a crucial aspect of her creativity.
