The end of 2003 has been quite a busy time. I have been away for most of the fall and early winter with Manhattan Vibes, Ravi Coltrane, and The Manhattan Transfer.

January is normally my down time, but this January, like October and December, is packed with cool music. The new year brings gigs with Richard Bona, Dana Mase, and Janis Siegel. It also brings 5 days in the studio with The Manhattan Transfer. This will be their first studio album in over 3 years. Look for updates on the gig page beginning in January.

My debut CD "Traveler" is doing very well and I have all of you to thank for it. Many have been asking about live gigs and a live band. All I can say is that the right opportunity has not come up. When it does, I will have live performances with my own band. I appreciate all the positive emails, thank you.

Check out the "live" page on my site, if I'm playing in your town, please don't hesitate to drop me a line. I give many lessons while on the road, and I also have an extensive guest list at gigs ;-).

Here's to a happy and healthy new year!
