Today, I declare myself the future of jazz. (haha) Why not? Heck, I am even practising again...post new-born son, back to back
commissions, hockey playoffs....

Seriously though, I am the future. So are all the musicians I know and love who are creating music that is taking into consideration
the past, present and future of it all. I am not just putting it in the blender either. I continue to work, and think about this
every day of my life. I am the future and so are you. Support your modern bandleader!! tmp

Great to hear Victor Bateman on Friday at the Silver Dollar. He is a really good singer. It was too bad about the dancing bass frequencies from the
club below. It is another one of those weird things about living in a big city. It is always exciting, never a shortage of art
but definitely a shortage of silence.
