Just arrived in Japan yesterday. It took me until this afternoon to realize I left a box of vinyl merch on the airport bus last night. Two hours away. Oops! The things jet lag can do to a man. Hopefully they will be retrieved…
Tonight I’ll be over at the bubbles club in Mito City with Vicente Archer and Kendrick Scott for some trio jams.

The first one is over at 8pm on stage 2 over at Rockwood Music Hall in the lower east side. Its with my buddy Josh Mease. If you haven’t heard his music, check out these videos. If you have, enjoy these anyways cause they’re badass-

The second show is at 10pm with Nir Felder, extremely talented jazz guitarist. I’ll be accompanying him on his original music along with Ben Allison and Mark Guiliana. Its at the 55 bar where Nir has a residency on Thursday nights.
Tonight I’m playing with my much harder working label mate Chris Hoffman. He’s a superb cellist and song writer. Check out his last ep “Induction” here at http://christopherhoffman.bandcamp.com/

Headed down to Brazil today for the Rio das Ostras Jazz and Blues Festival with Jose James. Next week is Montreal Jazz Fest with Jeremy Pelt and then to Seattle with Kat Edmondson putting me back in NYC July 4th. Will be super good times.
My Holland gig with Jeremy Pelt has been cancelled last minute due to another douchebag promoter. So for my whole slew of dutch groupies eagerly awaiting my awesome keyboard fusion chops, I’m sorry to let you know that I won’t be making it… thanks to the douchebag promoter who cancels last minute.
