Upcoming Attractions

Check out entries here on future and recurrent events.

On Dec. 18, I recorded the basic tracks for what will be my first CD as a leader.  Produced by Mike Dease, owner/president of D-Clef Records, who also plays trombone on selected songs, this album features some great names in Post-Bop Jazz: George Cables, piano; Dezron Douglas, bass; Willie Jones III, drums.  Also, some great special guests: Mark Whitfield, guitar; Charles Tolliver, trumpet; David Weiss, trumpet; Dominick Farianacci, trumpet.  Songs will include original compositions  by me, Mike Dease, Charles Tolliver, George Cables, composer/trumpeter Thomas Barber, and Steve Turre, and some not-so-standards which Mike and I included that really speak to us about where the music is and where we want to take it.

Artwork and additional production are in the works after the holidays, and we are lookin to release this by June.  Stay tuned for more info!
