Getting through the entire melody of Don Byas over Stardust. Byas’s virtuosity is always humbling when transcribing him - his lines have such fluidity in the most effortless ways. Matching timbres with alternate fingerings is no joke, either. This track is from a Charlie Christian compilation 🎷

Today marks 1 year since MOTIVITY was released. Thank you to everyone who has supported/continues to support the record. I’m grateful for both the trio on the album (Johnathan Blake/Thomas Morgan) and from the release (Ben Street and Mr. Andrew Cyrille).

Still learning how to play melodies, and this version of Stardust by Don Byas brings me a lot of joy. Getting all of his nuances/timbres/articulations correct is much more difficult than it appears, not to mention trying to capture his beauty in the lower range of the alto. 2nd half coming soon 🎷

I’m excited to join the faculty at the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz at The Hartt School/Univ of Hartford this fall. To continue JMac’s legacy of education at this revered institution is not something I take lightly & look forward to learning from my students and colleagues along the way 🎷📚

I had a really wonderful time this past weekend at Millersville University in PA working with the students for their Single Reed Symposium. We workshopped in-progress pieces, talked all things saxophone, improvisation, and had a great concert with the big band playing a couple of my compositions 🎷

A final rest before baking. Off to play Broadway matinee, hopefully these won’t be over proofed by the time I get back 😬
