Lullaby for the Lost Out Now
So inspiring to hear Jerry Bergonzi last night at The Lilypad in Boston! He continues to amaze, as does George Garzone who was killing with Fringe on the late set. Grateful to hear them both.

It was great being in Thailand this past week; got to see and catch up with some old friends, make many new ones, reconnect with Ishkero, and had the honor of performing A Love Supreme with the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra.

Some wonderful photos by Tony Levin from The Sound and Vision of David Bowie. It was great to reconnect with all these great musicians revisiting David’s music on a high level, and a pleasure to share it with so many people whose lives were deeply touched by his art.

Such a pleasure to speak with Lawrence Preyer awhile back. We delved into the making of Lullaby for the Lost…the tremendous contributions of the team of collaborators I’ve been fortunate to work with, and my journey to get to this point.
