Here is a fun sketch done by D.J. Schiff of my trio’s recent gig at Dizzy’s. I love that you can see our set list on Ben’s music stand. And that nobody in the audience is paying attention. Thank you, DJ! Look for DJ’s book to be released sometime in 2022 - "100 Gigs”.
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., and thinking about his incredible work and legacy, I am reposting these two short videos I made during the beginning of the pandemic:

A big congratulations to my fellow JLCO bandmate Carlos Henriquez for his Grammy nomination today for his album "The South Bronx Story". If you haven’t checked it out, do yourself a favor and listen as soon as you can!
I took this shot just in front of the theater where my trio played in Portugal a few weeks ago. Lisbon is such a beautiful city. And they have a great jazz festival (Seixal Jazz Festival)!

Another horn from my Project: Pro Student Horn program found a home! However, this one took 37 days to get from NYC to San Diego, where (according to the tracking) it made unscheduled visits along the way to Vermont and Puerto Rico.
Putting the finishing touches on a commission for the All-Virginia Jazz Ensemble, a high school all-star band that will perform this month at a conference held by the Virginia Music Educators Association. I will be there with them to perform this new piece, and am looking forward
It’s the early round for the @RecordingAcad, and I love this time: I get to discover a lot of great music that I might not have heard otherwise. I am excited by the truly creative music I am hearing. Congratulations to everyone for continuing to express themselves through music.
I am proud to see this cover story of my long-time friend and colleague, @benallisonmusic. He’s releasing his new album and performing at @birdlandjazz November 4-6. Check him out!
If you can’t be there in person tonight, you can still checkout my trio at Dizzy’s tonight virtually. We’re going to have fun, and hope you can join us! @jazzdotorg
