NEWS - I don't have a lot of work coming up in the next couple of months, but i know there are some creative dates in the mix. November 8 and 9 I reunite with Rebecca Kilgore at Kenyon Hall in Seattle. When I used to work in the Roadrunners years ago, she sang and played guitar. Matt Weiner will be with us on bass both nights and Jonathan Doyle will be there on the Saturday. At the Puget Sound Jazz Society meeting I know that Jacob Zimmerman will be pulling out some obscurities written by my old friend Darnell Howard, an absolute jazz legend. On November 20 at the Royal Room I will take part in a blues piano night and I know I will play songs by early Chicago blues creators.
