It’s been beautiful opening for the 3rd season at Donovan’s Garage.

The most recent concert with Ethan Philion, Russ Johnson, Jayden Richardson and myself was ‘off the hook’ in its dynamism and inventiveness. And the audience was totally with us, in the moment, as evidenced by the last note of the night being met with a standing ovation!

Thank you for your support. As you know, without it, we would not be able to bring innovative Chicago jazz to Steven Roger’s beautiful Akar Auditorium.

The music starts again in February, so mark your calendars.

The personnel is shaping up.

What I can say at this point is that it’s going to be a free flowing exploratory trip!

More later!
