March

All of a sudden, March is here! Kind of ready for winter to loose it's grip, but clearly no one asked me. Solution: play in snow! (No, not music. Don't be silly!)

Recently returned from a truly grand reunion in MT of the Big Sky Mudflaps, with old friends and compatriots flying in from around the country. Happily, Steve Powell, the particular honoree was in fine shape and great spirit. A real gathering of a tribe and I am so lucky to have made it there!

I am sad to relay news of the death of Sam Bivens, trumpet, composer, arranger and bandleader of Denver Jazz Orchestra. I have played in Sam's band on and off since the early 90s. A really good experience for me - he will be missed.

On a warmer topic, and indoors... please join me in enjoying Playback Theater West and the Dexter Payne Quartet in the coming week! After that I am off on the first Lionel Young Band forray of the season.

See you there!
