The News


Hey Everybody! Thanks for checking in!


The Seasonal Update:

I’ve wrapped up another year teaching at UNO in New Orleans, and I’m looking forward to being in NYC for most of the summer. Cindy Scott’s CD, which I produced and played on, is out, and I have been truly touched by all of the unsolicated good vibrations sent my way from many people that I admire. Thanks for all the love. We have some gigs in the Northeast and in New Orleans this summer, so keep tabs on the calendar if you want to catch us.

Paul Wiltgen and I are trying to finish his next masterpiece - we’re shooting to get it mastered in June. What an awesome project this thing is - it is a total blast listening to the playing and the sounds on these sessions. Can’t wait for you all to hear it.

One of the things I’m undertaking this summer, besides getting some good shedding in and eating my way through Queens, is compiling a collection of Soul-Jazz leadsheets. This is a project I’ve been talking about doing for about 6 years, so I’m excited to finally get it underway. I’m assembling a panel of experts in the idiom to make tune suggestions for the book, and to help me define the scope of it. I plan on the collection being around 200 charts when I’m done. If you have any great ideas, please pass them along.

Bryan Galloup, God’s personal luthier, has made me a new acoustic guitar which I am seriously looking forward to playing for you all. Bryan is a true artist, and his skills with wood and sound are uncanny. If you are a picker, I seriously recommend that you check out his work. You can occasionally find instruments of his at the Guitar Gallery outside of Nashville, and at Mandolin Brothers on Staten Island.

That’s all for now - Peace & Funkiness!



ps: I started an email list thing a while ago, the big plan being to send out my news and my gig list about once a month. So far I’ve sent out exactly one mailing! I swear I will get it together eventually. So, if you want to take the chance that one day you might get something, click these words. If, at some point, you become terminally swamped by electronic correspondences (which at the rate I’m going could never happen!), you can un-sign up too, the convenient and automatic disconnect link comes with every email! Also, you have the option of letting me know where you are, so I won't bother you with gig notices for stuff nowhere near you.
