To celebrate, we are releasing a compilation of recordings of Long Division from NSJ and NK on December 12th. This will be a free download, available to subscribers of the NA mailing list (which is, incidentally also the best place to find about everything else Not Applicable).

Tom will also be performing with Simon Vincent on the same evening and you can pick up a free copy of their duo record Three Improvisations right now by subscribing to the NA list … seriously, it’s a no brainer.
