It’s always a treat to play in northern California. On March 28 the BiCoastal Collective played to a packed house at the San Jose Jazz Society’s concert series.  We had a great interactive audience and Marcus Wolfe, (my great friend and a great tenor player) joined us on my composition “TGOK”. The Collective recorded “TGOK” on BC3, but Marcus and I recorded that perviously on my first record back in 1999. Thinking back it had been about 15 years since we had last played that tune together. Fun times. The day before (March 27) I was a soloist with the San Jose State University Jazz Orchestra. The SJSU band was really happening; they did my music justice. It’s always inspiring to hear young cats play so well.  The summer season is starting to pick up already. I guess there is no rest for the wicked.
