Jake Armerding and I just finished two days in the recording studio cutting a six track EP of our yet-to-be-named duo project.
It was a fabulous set of sessions and we are excited to finish the post-production work and make it available to everyone in the whole wide world. (Thanks interweb.)
Until then, check out the gigs page to find out when and where you can see me playing.
(Like tonight - 1.21.10 - at the Living Room in Manhattan for example.)
It is true that I am an amateur poet.
I have not been active in poetizing since the birth of my little buddy over a year ago, but with a reinvigorarted site, and new sense of creative necessity, I hope to “clobber it” in 2010.

I know what you’re thinking. “Finally! What took you so long? We’re dying out here!” Well, I was inspired by my good friend Mr. Jake Armerding to start updating all my salivating fans more regularly. Your wakeful nights pining for news about my life as an “artist” in a small city next to the biggest in the world - in a sense - are over. Now those formerly industrious sheep mope sullenly penned, for no longer will their services be required to sooth you into slumber.
So we begin our adventure together. I’ll fill you in on all the nitty gritty of being a part-time saxophonist, let you know when, where and what I’ll be performing, and keep you up-to-date on the many other creative endeavors I find myself falling into. And in return you promise to buy every one of the albums I have already recorded (zero so far), every one of the upcoming releases (also zero), and even those in the quite distant future (which given my track record, puts you in little danger of overcommitting).
Since our inboxes are already too full of mail that takes too long to read, and thus, is promptly deleted without the slightest hesitancy, I won’t be sending newsletters out like Bed, Bath and Beyond 20% off coupons that, in spite of what’s printed on them, never actually expire, and can be used with up to four others in a single visit (provided, of course, you have at least one item per coupon).
In the coming month I’ve some ab fab performances for which I hope you’ll have some space in your schedule. This week I’ll be performing with the Sensorium Saxophone Orchestra (12 saxes plus drums) at the Brooklyn Lyceum. At the end of the month you can catch one or all of 8 performances in Jersey City of the Peter Nichols play, Passion, for which i have arranged and/or composed all music, and will be performing on stage throughout the show. A very heavy scene that is not to be missed. And in mid-October, I’ll be joining Jake Armerding and Damien Bassman (who, ironically, does not “slapa da bass mon”, and who likely has heard that joke a gazillion times) for a genre-bending night of great music in the West Village.
And now, the details. Pleae mark your calendars accordingly.
