In Concert: From There to Hear is a live solo percussion album by Jerome Cooper. It was recorded during 1995–1998 at concerts presented at Roulette and The Knitting Factory in New York City, and was released by Mutable Music in 2001. "Bantul" and "The Indonesian" were composed while Cooper was living in Indonesia, and were influenced by gamelan music and local musicians. According to Cooper, "Monk Funk", previously recorded with a quintet on Outer and Interactions, was inspired by changing his daughter's diapers. "My Funny Valentine" is an improvisation on the well-known jazz standard, with the melody appearing on the chirimia. "My Life", completely improvised, employs two chirimias. Regarding "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", Cooper wrote: "the melody is so powerful that you can play any chords or rhythm with it".
