Back in the U S of A

Japan Tour was simply awesome...
The band was terrific to begin with, and it grew at an amazing rate as we played almost every night for three weeks!



And of course, the food! We all ate and drank every day and night like royalties - and still stayed healthy and light! That's the great thing about Japanese cuisine.

I've been busy since I got back here in New York with all kinds of projects including a recording session and gigs with George Dulin Quartet (featuring Sal Rosselli - he's AMAZING), my own gig at good old Cleopatra's Needle, etc. I'd also suffered from heavy jet lag this time... somehow it was very hard to get over it. But I'm okay now.

I'm heading to a recording session with bassist Akihiro Yamamoto today. Another fun for me. Gotta love it.

Japan Tour

I'm leaving for a Japan Tour tomorrow!
My friend Nobuki Takamen is releasing his second CD and we'll be promoting it in some fifteen cities.
If you know anybody in Japan, please spread the word...
