Happy new year to everybody - of course! Lots of love, joy and happiness.

So, did I mention that my Christmas CD went into digital distribution JUST in time AND received a really sweet review on Amazon.com from a dear friend and long time listener.


Otherwise, Gig I - IV last week were quite an experience! It started off with the Wednesday at Red White and Bluezz, which went smoothly, then suddenly AND already reached a climax at Genghis Cohen late night in L.A. on Thursday. No ballads, no minuet - the crowd was really into the groove and we really had fun: David, Keith, Paul and I.

The band then smoothly dipped into the Friday, swopping down slightly in concentration but not in passion but then sped up to another climax on Saturday! With Karen Briggs on violin and my dear friend and genius bass player Keith Jones played until he had bloody fingers.

What a week! The CD sales were a blast - exactly what a musician needs in this delicate economy. So indeed, my new CD Inventions is being received quite well. I have also just heard back from some international jazz festivals who would like to book the band. We'll have to see whether we can fit it in this or next year - the Caribbean would be nice...

Oooh yeah.

Genghis was a blast, baby. I was almost sorry that the crowd was so loud - because I know how distracting it can be.
But we were so highly animated and had to exchange how excited we were!
Many respects and millions of kudos go out to Greg Porée and the band!
