I remember living in Manhattan and talking about getting a place that was heated by a wood stove … it’s awesome! …and I haven’t left being near it unless I had to for these last couple weeks …its been cold in Upstate NY!…Stay warm friends in the Northern parts of the US…

I am so looking forward to being back with the JCQ @ Smalls! ...and with an absolutely brilliant group with Ari Hoenig, Ed Cherry and Neal Miner! ...see you there @ Smalls in NYC ! …or on the fantastic live stream @ youtube.com/smallslive

I am ready to get back to a full performance schedule playing shows full time this year ! ...its been the toughest 2 years in my personal life ever, and I have come out of it much stronger I'm "happy to report"!

...and the last 6 months, while even still playing very few shows, has been truly one of finest parts of my blessed career in everything that has manifested and come into alignment!...I want to play! ...and love playing and life!...plan...go...Much love everyone!!!

I made a poster wall of our Real Bean Productions shows...I really feel blessed to have the Tezcat Music Space and feel wonderful about what I have been building and what is coming next…🙏😀

I am thrilled to announce that the planned JCQ session with Ari Hoenig, Ed Cherry and Neal Miner has been moved to Orange Sheep Studios!

I’m taking time to enjoy nature and this beautiful world ! …its great for my music and playing!

Sweet Sweet is born! Im so happy to be playing my jazz-rock-funk original music again! …and with these great Ithaca players! Its fabulous to work with Mike Wellen, Chris Gibbons and Alex Specker on this fun project!

Thank you to Mollie L for her great work on my new logo!
