Recording sessions for original jazz project

August 2nd, 2009

July 27 and 28th were the first two tracking sessions for my project of original music.  Paul Creel, Tom Dietz and Peter Miles did a great job and with another session or two it will be on to the mixing stage.  Stay tuned!

Also, Sundays in August at Francesca’s Trattoria will be solo guitar, 6-9pm.  I’ll be playing Bach, Beatles, and jazz so come on out and have some great Italian food and enjoy the music.

A busy Winter and Spring

April 17th, 2009

The Sunday guitar duo gig with Welson Tremura at Francesca’s is to continue for at least another month.  Please come by if you can, the food is tasty and music is swinging and unique.  Welson is fantastic at playing Bossa Nova and I do my bit, adding some American style swing to the mix.

Tonight at the Casa Monica in St Augustine I’ll be leading a quartet with Tom Dietz on tenor sax, Von Barlow on drums and Paul Creel on bass.  We’ll be playing some of my new tunes.  I’m determined to record a CD of original music this year and need to get used to playing the material.

Next weekend I’ll be at the Brick in Avondale Friday and Saturday nights with Von Barlow’s Jazz Journey.  Hope to see you at one of the gigs!
