Hello, Everyone,
Just a quick note to bring you up-to-date on a few things...
First, I want to thank all of you who participated
for making the Hilton Head Island Jazz
Festival Survey a success. Overall, reaction to the
proposed festival was very positive and your responses about
the specifics (timing, length of festival, etc.) will be very
helpful as we present the idea to local officials and potential
sponsors.
Congratulations to the winners of the survey drawing—Nick
Fitch, David Oaks, and Tor Anders Rasmussen— who will
receive a copy of my new CD Presence
and Carmen's new CD, You Still
Don't Know Me.
Perhaps our next giveaway will be tickets to the new festival!
I also want to let you know about a special bonus track
to Presence that is now available exclusively on iTunes. The
track, which is called "Anymore," is a cool funky
groove that my daughter Lizzy and I co-wrote and it was a
chance for our whole family to do a project together. On it,
you'll hear Lizzy on lead vocal and Carmen and Christina on
backing vocals.
If you have a chance, check it out at the iTunes
music store. It is available both as a single and as part
of the iTunes version of Presence.

Annapolis
This Thursday, February 8th, I'll be playing with my regular
band at the Rams

February 14 - Taping for Sunday
with Liz Walker on WBZ-TV
On Tuesday, February 14th (Valentine's Day), I will be taping
an appearance for Sunday with Liz Walker on WBZ-TV. At the
moment, I don't know which Sunday it will be aired, so if
you want to catch it, keep an eye on your local listings.
February 15 - Scullers Jazz
Club, Boston
On Thursday, February 15th, we'll be at Scullers Jazz Club,
which is considered one of the best in the country by both

From March 7-19, I'll be part of a very special band accompanying
bass-baritone opera phenom Thomas Quasthoff in a series of
concerts in support of his new jazz CD Watch
What Happens. I think these shows will prove to be
as memorable for those of us performing as they will be for
those of you in the audience. I'm really looking forward to
being part of them.
