So I am down in Phoenix hanging out, writing, recording, and prepping for my upcoming gigs. Some of my good musician friends are here, like Andrew McQueen, Marion Meadows, and Cal Harris Jr.. My new acquaintance, crack producer Michael Broening resides here as well.... most residents get out of state in this 42C/112F weather, but we have a pool and it is a nice break from a rainy winter.
I have a few small gigs around here, then a cool concert at the Old Pueblo Grill in Tucson on June 30, featuring drummer extraordinaire Peter Swan. Cool venue and appreciative crowd. I've played there before, and it only gets better. Last year I played Tucson at Loews Ventana for a concert co-headlining with Jeff Lorber, and although big fun, the Old Grille experience has a cool packed club vibe rather than a soft seater concert feel.

Sylvia and I will take a road trip from Phoenix to Seal Beach (just down the Coast Hwy from LA) for a night at Spaghettini, the west coast's premier contemporary jazz spot. That show is July 14, and should be a blowout night.
