What’s in my turntable today? It’s Michael Brecker‘s birthday today, so in honor of one of the greatest saxophone players to walk the planet I’m putting on the first Brecker Brothers record. Some Skunk Funk still gets me every time.

I played a multi woodwind recital for Northern Essex Community College yesterday. It’s always great to perform for the students!

The first four Monkees albums?! They’re in pretty good shape for their age too!

Happy Twin Peaks Day! I’m celebrating by having a donut and a damn good cup of coffee - black as midnight on a moonless night. (Also check out the black lodge mug!)

What’s on my turntable today? I figured I’d listen to some GNX by Kendrick Lamar because apparently according to some, I’m not a real musician and I don’t know what real talent looks like. 😉

What’s on my turntable today? It’s SUPERBOWL LIX (that’s 59 for the Roman Numerally challenged) so I’m listening to some of my favorite albums from 1959. It was a great year for jazz records - What are some of your favorites?

My latest haul from A Damn Shame Records in Lowell. They’re moving from Mill no. 5 but I’m glad they found a new home at La La Books/Hive Public Market. If you’re in the Lowell, MA area - check them out!

I have a different take on this book. It has a lot of Ambrose Bierce’s witty definitions along with other authors’. Definitely worth checking out!

People in the City by Air
I’ve been a fan of Air ever since high school when a friend showed me Moon Safari. I somehow missed this 2001 release but I’m glad I found it! If you love ambient electronic music definitely check these guys out.

I only use Spotify to prep for gigs so I’m posting some of my most listened to records instead.
Why yes, I ✨am✨ better than you. Thanks for noticing.

Benny Goodman plays MOZART?! Yes! With the Boston Symphony, no less! While I’m sure there are some purists out there who might not like it, I think this is a fun record to listen to and shows how versatile a musician Goodman was. Definitely worth a listen!
