Starting Thursday, I’ll be on the road with fabulous rhythm sections; on the few solo nights in Albuquerque and Palo Alto I'll be playing my Piano Sonata (as well as standards and jazz originals)…
All the bands are great! This will be my first time playing with Reuben Rogers (in SF) and Peter Erskine (in LA), I’m also looking forward to hearing my friend Marta Sanchez for two nights solo in Palo Alto.
A couple of pictures from BAM last week, when the Mark Morris Dance Group did four performances of The Look of Love…

I first performed at BAM with Julie Worden in what, maybe 1998? A quarter of a century ago anyway. Julie brought her daughter Kieran to the show…
Welcome Jazz Sketches to Substack, and thanks for the great review of Technically Acceptable.
My Italian friends are all emailing me photos of the lovely spread in Musica Jazz. Thanks very much to Enzo Capua!!!! For many things!
What an amazing evening of solo piano you gave us last night at the Outpost in ABQ. Some unique but natural harmonic things happening, like the perfect touch of bitters or esoteric elixirs tweaking a classic cocktail.
Hey, I have a friend in Yuma, Arizona, who or whose a cappella group at Cornell did killing me softly and she was the beatbox. Any chance you want me to try and fly her out so you’ll feel less lonely?
