December Update

Season’s greetings!
I just wanted to let you know about a couple of performances I have coming up. The first is on Thursday, December 22 at noon in Courtroom 317 in Landmark Center for a Schubert Club Courtroom Concert. I will be playing solo, which is not something I have done very often. This concert is free.
The second is on Thursday, December 29 at 9:00 pm at the Acadia Cafe. I will be playing with my trio (Ted Olsen, bass; Matt Buckner, drums). No cover.
Also, I am pleased to note that, after a successful scholarship audition in November, I will be moving to New York in January to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music!
Happy holidays!

March Update

Hi everyone!

A (very) belated thank you to everyone who came out to the Dakota on January 21 to hear the Trio. It was a fun event for us, and I hope you enjoyed it! Audio from this event can be downloaded here.

Since then, I’ve had a busy two months. The Dakota Combo was in New York on February 19 and 20 for the Mingus High School Competition. We played three tunes: So Long Eric, Orange Was the Color of Her Dress, and Reincarnation of a Lovebird. We had a great time, and won the Mingus Spirit Award! Thanks to the Manhattan School of Music for their hospitality.

Lastly, my next performance is on Thursday, March 24 at 8:00 pm in Antonello Hall at MacPhail Center for Music. This is part of MacPhail’s Jazz Thursdays series. I am not playing in the entire concert, but I am sitting in with the band on one tune. I hope to see you there!
