On the plane to New York and getting pretty psyched up for these upcoming double trio shows with Reuben, Greg, Larry and Brian. Two phenomenal bassists, two masterful drummers, and one, lone overmatched and under-skilled saxophonist: could ket kinda ugly! We recorded together last March, but this will be the first time for any of us playing live in this sort of configuration. Should be a lot of fun, and pretty wild. Honestly, I have no idea what to expect. But isn't that what jazz is all about? Truth be told, I am more than a bit disappointed that I won't be able to make it down to DC on Tuesday, to witness what is destined to go down as one of the most glorious, uplifting and redemptive events in the complicated history of our deeply troubled yet ever resilient country. Hopefully, though, we'll be able to do a little celebrating of our own through the music....
