Sept/Oct Update

Hi everybody, just a little update in the life of me.. Amongst sporadic USA & Canadian travel dates, I’m really looking forward to a week at The Jazz Standard with Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts’ (whose record is now available HERE), a week at Café Carlyle with Kurt Elling, and some quartet dates of my own. My 6^th record, ‘Secret Rhymes’ just made the ‘Best Seller’ charts on CD Baby, but more importantly, I’m particularly stoked about receiving a 4-Star review in Down Beat Magazine (which you can read HERE)! Hope to see you out and about!
