Dear friends and followers,
This coming Friday August 11 I will be part of the Denali Kauffman's quintet at the Century Room.
Music of Dave Holland and all with no piano nor guitar.
I will be playing the part of Steve Nelson from the album Points of View and a couple of newer tunes.
Denali has taken the time to transcribe this music and it promises to be a challenging experience for me as I have been a fan of Steve's for years but never have attempted to play these tunes.
Please do pass he word. Two shows 7 and 9 pm.
More info at The Century Room Shows.
Last week we recorded 2 great works by Jake Runestad up at the Camelback Bible Church in Phx.
Great job by all involved and a rewarding experience.
