Ha! I see my last entry was from the infamous summer of 2020! Well, a lot has happened since then. A return to in person teaching at Bard College in fall of 2020( masked in large open room with open windows, air purifiers & drum sets 10 feet apart), one of the only in person classes for students at that time! A gradual return to live performances over the next couple of years with many outdoor shows & eventually normal indoor venues back in business
Too far to go through but here’s a partial list of who I’ve played with over last couple of years. The Arlen Roth Band, Murali Coryell, Kenny Werner, Eric Person, Jay Collins, David Gilmore, Gary Versace, Peter Bernstein, Chad LB, Chuck Lamb, Jay Andersen, & the great longtime colleague of mine, John Esposito, both recording & performances at Bard College alongside bassist Ira Coleman.
A recent highlight was The Mustique Blues Festival on the incredible paradise, Mustique Island. Hosted by the legendary Basil Charles of Basil’s Bar fame, the 25 year old charity event for poor students in nearby St. Vincent, features great blues artists from the US & UK. This year’s lineup included Murali Coryell, Eliza Neals, JC Smith, Kenny Blues Boss Wayne , Ian Seigal, Dan Rabinovitz, Matt Gest, Jeff Walker & moi! It was a truly magical 2 1/2 weeks both musically & personally. Besides meeting & talking with none other than Mick Jagger, the friendship & camaraderie of the musicians, along with the welcoming & bonding with audience & residents of the island, to the warmth & generosity of Basil, made for an incredible experience!
For now, back to Bard for spring semester & upcoming dates with Murali, John Esposito & Spero Plays Nyro & others!
