I'm excited to announce that I'll be bringing a jazz trio to Pellegrino's Restaurant & Lounge every Thursday night starting in January 2012. Pellegrino's is a great restaurant, owned & operated by 2 friends of mine, and features an excellent menu and intimate atmosphere. We'll be playing 3 instrumental sets each and every Thursday at 8 pm in the upstairs lounge. Hope to see you there. No cover and drink specials each week!
I know it's been a while since I've updated the site, but rest assured, I've been busy. With three projects finally nearing a release date, and a few new shows lined up (details below), I thought it was time to reach out and share some new music.
I've mentioned before that I've been in the studio working on a number of things: a full length studio record with John Robinson, a new instrumental Trio record, and the second installment in the PVD Breaks series. Today, I'm psyched to share with you a preview of one track from each aforementioned record. Enjoy! And please let me know what you think.
Follow the links below to stream rough mixes of one track of each upcoming release:
