Sending good health and good vibes to all! 

These are undoubtedly trying times for all of us.  Everyone's trying to adjust to our new reality, and I want to make a special point to thank everyone who's reached out to me over the past week to make sure my family and I are okay. 

Yes, we're fine.  In fact, we're probably better than most.  I'm fortunate enough to have a spouse with a steady job (and health insurance!) and my kids are dealing with this crisis with a level of maturity that far exceeds that of…

Friday, November 8 , 2019 Tribute to Benny Goodman & Artie Shaw The legendary jazz clarinetist Pee Wee Russell once said, "There's plenty of money to be made playing jazz clarinet.  Problem is, Benny Goodman has already made all of it." As a clarinetist, it should come as no surprise that two of my biggest influences are Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, two towering giants of the Swing Era.  Well, I'm excited to report that my next show at one of…

Monday, October 21 , 2019 Annapolis, Baltimore, and more! I can't say enough good things about Keystone Korner, Baltimore's (relatively) new high-end jazz club.  Great sound, great food, great staff.  It's just a fabulous place -- both to perform and to go hear music.  I've been doing plenty of both lately!

Friday, June 14, 2019 Keystone Korner If you haven't already heard, the Harbor East neighborhood in Baltimore is the new home for Keystone Korner, one of the most storied clubs in jazz history.  Based in San Francisco from 1972 through 1983, NEA Jazz Master Todd Barkan has decided to relaunch his fabled club in Charm City, with help from famed chef Robert Wiedmaier.

The club's been open just a little over the month, and I'm SUPER EXCITED …
