All I can think about right now is performing and sharing our music with everyone! We are really looking forward to being together and playing on tour. What can you expect if you come to one of our shows? Our band, with Igmar Thomas/trumpet, Rudy Royston/drums and Luques Curtis/bass and myself on piano, will perform straight ahead acoustic jazz with some blues. We think the show will be a treat for jazz lovers and anyone who likes instrumental music. I also encourage music students of all ages too – many of the venues offer student prices to encourage that. Need any more reasons to come see us? I believe going out for live music is a gift we give ourselves – it is always uplifting and boosts our spirits. I also tell stories about the creativity behind the music too, so it might be inspiring for some. Lastly, aren’t we all in the mood for some fun?
So what are we going to play? That has been trickier to decide on than you might expect. I have written or arranged almost 300 tunes over time, so they won’t all make it onto the set list of course! We are playing a lot from our latest album Coincidental Moment as well as a few selections from Paradise Cove that came out last year. We will also play some tunes from my catalog that are my all-time favorites. I have a strict rule too when I tour to only play music I really love that will sound great with our band, so you can be sure we will be enjoying ourselves!
I want to note that our venue in Chicago changed – we are now at Winter’s Jazz Club which looks like a very nice venue. The ticket link below goes to The Chicago Lighthouse website because this show is a fundraiser for their terrific organization. Vocalist Nikki George will open up for us – so it will be quite an evening for jazz. Also note that our show in PA is already sold out and the second show at SF Jazz might also – so please don’t wait to buy your tickets and enjoy an evening out - feel free to share with family or friends too.
