Nines by Taffy Puller

Taffy Puller is an improvisational duo started by Jon Mueller and Chris Rosenau with a performance at the Bremen Cafe in Milwaukee, WI on 18 July 2005.

The project sat dormant until 2018, when Chris stumbled upon the live recording of the Bremen show and sent it to Jon.

They agreed it needed further exploration.

Since then, Taffy Puller has performed limited shows around the Midwest; always improvisational, always different, but always with the DNA from that first show as the template.

"Nines" is a documentation of this project as of 2023/2024, and a snapshot of the vibe of all of the performances to date.
