In November 1997, Chris Jonas and Dan Plonsey began a series of duets in which they both played saxophones and painted/drew a giant canvas (approximately 11' x 8.5'). Sometimes both were playing, sometimes one was playing while the other drew, and sometimes both drew. The medium used was lecturer's chalk, very much like a soft chalk pastel.
The first duet took place at 5670 Ludwig, El Cerrito, on November 29, 1997.
The second performance took place at Beanbender's, in Berkeley, CA, on November 30; and the third at The Alligator Lounge, in Santa Monica, CA, on December 1, 1997.
The fourth and fifth performances took place at Beanbender's, August 29 and 30, 1998.
