Check out Audrey Bernstein and her new group, we cut the CD in May and have been playing steadily since.

I’m currently listening to Sons of Daughters, a great trio comprised of tenor, bass and drums. Three improv masters who read each others musical intentions and moves like a book. Saxophonist Patrick Breiner is hopefully coming to VT in February…trying to help him book some gigs…

Come down for some gypsy/swing/latin muisc.

 

 

 

Excited to play at the Ski Hall of Fame 2011 induction at Killington Resort later this month!

Ticketed event featuring a dinner and silent auction. I have been a skier all of my life, so it will be exciting to be at this event, especially since our founding member of ZJazz is a member of the HOF as well.
