Dear Friends,
I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to play at Firehouse 12 tomorrow night on FRIDAY, MAY 28th with the Fay Victor Ensemble!!  It’s our first gig for 2010 and we are stoked. And what a venue with an esteemed reputation for great sound, programming and for being a very hip spot to check out improvised music in the Northeast. They also have a state of the art recording studio (and record label) plus there’s a restaurant with and stupendous winelist to boot. We are honored. www.firehouse12.com and please checkout …

Dear Friends,

Plus going out the hear music was sublime.  Audiences seemed to …

Hey there friends…
If you are in the North Eastern US like I am then the last few days must feel like heaven.  It seems that spring has just sprung up out of nowhere and was it needed!! I’m so happy to see sunny days and warmer temps.  This fresh infusion of Spring happens to coincide with the conclusion of Anthony Braxton’s Trillium E Opera recording, the project I am so proud to be a cast member of.  The experience so far has been one of vast growth and community.  I …
