It was a blast bringing a little bit of New Orleans to @jacobspillow with the help of the wonderful @mgibson4life and @neworleansjazzorch !
This concludes 6 weeks away from home (5 in Europe) which I immensely enjoyed, but I do look forward to coming back to New Orleans today!
@jazzascona 2022 is a wrap! It's good to be back! Had a wonderful time, especially as my lovely sister visited. 10/10 would do it again!
Now I'm in Europe til August 1st, France, Netherlands, England, and others, hit me up if I'm near!!!
I'm so pumped for our #cdrelease show tomorrow at @snugjazz_nola at 8pm and 10pm! @saturn_quartet will be playing our music from our first album Synchronicities along with some new tunes, so come join us for an evening of lovely tunes!
It was truly fulfilling playing the music of Beethoven and Bernstein with the great Marcus Roberts and the @themodernjazzgeneration at the @theroyalconservatoryofmusic in @koerner_hall last week!
Special thanks to @jasonmarsalis , Tissa Khosla, @joegoldberg18 for writing some amazing arrangements for Scherzo, West Side Story, and Mambo among others and putting that unique flair and flavor on it that jazz and #BAM can put in music!
PS, that was some challenging music!!
