I'm going to be busy and on the go for the next few weeks here so blogging will lighten up considerably for awhile. But I wanted to let you all know about a big show of mine coming up this Saturday night. I'm thrilled to be playing with saxophonist Fraser Calhoun's quartet featuring one of my favorite jazz pianists of all time, the great Mulgrew Miller on piano.
In case you are not familiar with Miller's career he is literally an icon of the contemporary jazz language and someone who really exemplifies a modern extension of all the great jazz piano greats. I'm really honored and thrilled to have the opportunity to share the bandstand with him for several dates over the course of the next week here in Calgary and then in Edmonton. Mulgrew has played with the likes of Art Blakey, Tony Williams, Woody Shaw and countless other jazz greats over the years. Hope to see you all there!
