A friend of mine had a cassette by the Uptown String Quartet in the early 90s, and there was a song on it I thought was awesome; really jazzy, dissonant, progressive. I put it on a mix tape once, and I’ve long suspected that tape of being among many in a big box of unlabelled tapes in my basement.
It turns out this is a really obscure song. I haven’t been able to find a version of it anywhere else. I finally decided to get a little tape recorder and a cable to connect it to my computer, and to dig through all those old tapes until I found it, so I could record it onto my computer.
It was the first track on the first tape I put in. Here is Song For Winnie, composed by Leslie Burrs, performed by The Uptown String Quartet.
