Adios 2007

"It has been a fantastic year. I played a concert with my newly formed quintet, played at the Fillmore, San Jose and SF Jazz Festivals, opened for Los Lobos with Will Bernard at the Montalvo Arts Center, played at Kuumbwa Jazz in Santa Cruz and the Jazzschool in Berkeley with Natasha Miller, toured Hawaii with Plum Crazy, played a bunch with the amazing Fred Randolph Quintet and taught 2 jazz piano classes at the Jazzschool this past summer! I'm looking forward to what 2008 has to bring!"
Some highlights from years past...

"I had a terrific time working in collaboration with the Ragged Wing Theater Ensemble, directed by Amy Sass. The piece that I worked on was 'The Serpent', an experimental theater piece written in the 60's by Jean Claude Van Itallie. I worked with the cast on musical aspects of the performance, including an arrangement of the Appalachian folk song 'Going Home'. The piece got great reviews from all the major papers and was subsequently sold out for many nights, several weekends in a row. I look forward to the next collaboration. Perhaps I'll act in a piece......"

"I'm gearing up for my yearly trek to Moab, Utah in May. I always look forward to this pilgrimage. It is a dance festival of the amazing dance form of Contact Improvisation. If you are interested in learning more about contact improvisation, visit my brother's website: http://www.contactimprov.com . At the festival in Utah, I will again be the resident musician, so I'll be hauling all of my electronic gear from El Cerrito to Moab. I perform loops and live improvisation for the dancers."

"Hey! I just got back from Argentina not too long ago. We had a great time there. Lots of sun, lots of kind people, and we performed for 550+ folks for 3 separate nights (with the Zakiya Hooker band, Blues 4 U). It was quite an adventure! I got to see several good friends who live in Buenos Aires and meet lots of great musicians from the area. It looks promising that I will return someday...
