At the suggestion of writer Jon Morgan, Canadian drummer Dylan van der Schyff played in duo with John Butcher on the 2000 Vancouver Jazz Festival.
The next day they recorded Points, Snags and Windings for Morgan's
Meniscus label.
Later concerts have been at London's Vortex club, and back in Vancouver in 2001.
