✈️ UPCOMING SOUTHWEST TOUR (5/15-5/17): looking forward to this 3 night run performing in my favorite configurations SOLO PIANO, DUO and TRIO & where I’ll be joined by my mentor, friend and one of the greatest bassists in the world, Luther Hughes.
🎻 Luther was the long-time bassist for the Gene Harris Quartet and has worked with many of jazz’s most celebrated icons over his 40+ year career: Horace Silver, Joe Henderson and Carmen McRae, to name a few. During the Pandemic, I was a guest panelist for Luther’s weekly masterclass at California State University Fullerton, “Hearin’ The Changes”, alongside Chuck Israels, Bert Ligon and other renowned jazz educators. While we continue to stay in touch by phone every week comparing notes as fellow educators, this will be our first time PERFORMING together in over 4 years! We last played together at Jazz at the Merc in Temecula, CA “the day before the world shut down” in March 2020. So it’s only fitting that our first time performing together since COVID will be at the Merc exploring the ART OF THE DUO.
🌵 After our duo concert Thursday 5/16 in SoCal, Luther and I head to Scottsdale, AZ for a special TRIO concert Friday 5/17 at the Ravenscroft. This is one of the most premiere venues in the world and I am thrilled to be back and to play on this special Ravenscroft piano again.
💿 I will then stay in Arizona to finish my solo piano album ARIZONA SESSIONS to be released later this year. I kick off this 3-night run with a SOLO PIANO PERFORMANCE at LIBRETTO in Paso Robles, CA on Wednesday 5/15 which will be an exclusive preview of Arizona Sessions for this intimate audience on their special 9ft Steinway D Concert Grand.
