I'll be the featured artist for this long-running DC area jazz jam. In addition to leading the jam, I'll be playing the opening set, joined by Harry Appelman (piano), Derek Wiegmann (double bass), and Joey Antico (drums). No cover! You can just listen, or you can join in the music-making after the opening set!
