So this past week my in-laws have been visiting from Canada and we wanted to take them out for a great meal in Brooklyn. Our first choice was my favourite italian place Al Di La but unfortunately it was an hour wait. So we decided to go to Blue Ribbon restaurant. Since we didn’t have… Continue reading Being Blue Too Long
He Beat Me To It
So for a while now I’ve wanted to post some music but Chris beat me to it.
Great News!
Well I’m finally writing a post about the fact that the 4inObjects cd is finally available to the public. You can buy through 4inObjects website, or at CD Baby. You can read one of the reviews about the cd. I am so proud and excited that it’s out. Now go out and buy the cd!… Continue reading Great News!
Tonic on Thursday
This Thursday my friend and old classmate, tenor saxophonist Quinsin Nachoff will be having his U.S. CD release at Tonic at 8pm. I had a chance to see Quinsin at the IAJE this past January and it was good to hang with him for a minute. I haven’t heard any of Quinsin’s new music and… Continue reading Tonic on Thursday
The First Storm
Saturday night was the debut perfomance of my E String Band. It was yours truly, singing away; Jacob Sacks on melodica; Khabu Young on eukelele and Thomas Morgan on my child size E string guitar. We played at the Crossroads Cafe in Brooklyn (in my old hood). We just had a blast playing Hank Williams,… Continue reading The First Storm
One Brief Moment
Well it’s been more than two weeks since 4inObjects had their CD Pre-release party and I am still gasping for air. We had a great night and it was a wonderful crowd. Dave (bass) was stuck in Chicago’s Ohare airport and didn’t make it till the second set but the night was really great with… Continue reading One Brief Moment
Jacob Sacks and Room 264
Last night was a fun filled evening at Detour. Jacob Sacks invited all his friends and colleagues who used to work with him at CPSM (a music prepatory school) and had one big musical party. Jacob was emcee all night (there’s a game show host in him-I can feel it) and the music was unpredictable… Continue reading Jacob Sacks and Room 264
IAJE Madness
Well I think I have recovered from IAJE. It is such a bizarre atmosphere. In the one hand, it’s exciting for students all over the globe to get a chance to come to NY and perform and check out artists that they’ve only heard and not seen. For professional artists, it’s a wheel and deal… Continue reading IAJE Madness
Happy New Year!
Well it’s hard to believe that it’s 2006. The past year went by so fast that I can’t even reflect on what’s happened. It’s like a systems overload for me (can’t….pro–cess…infor–ma-tion…) I do know that 2006 is going to be an exciting year. I can feel it in my bones. For one thing, 4inObjects will… Continue reading Happy New Year!
Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah! I’m cooking up a storm in Ottawa, Canada right now so just a quick merry wish to all. I’m looking forward to the new year (so many new and exciting things to come!) CHEERS!
