According to Rutherford, prior to one of the concerts, he was approached by fellow trombonist Vinko Globokar, who asked him what he was going to play, and how he was going to start his set. Rutherford responded: "I don't know. I'm just going to go out and play... I don't want any idea. I'm going to improvise, and I'm going to go on to play improvised music."
