Thanks for visiting. All audio tracks here (except 'Starting Over') are from my upcoming CD "Kaleidoscope". Musicians onboard include Chris Potter, Doug Weiss, Anton Denner, & Rufus Reid. I'll let you know when it's available. > > > About little ol' me: Born & raised in Illinois farm country (it's SO hard to wash that smell out...sorry), transplanted to the NYC area during college, been busy playing ever since. Name any kind of gig, I've done it - although I may not admit it. > > > Did a lot of touring with various incarnations of Blood, Sweat & Tears in years past; more recent touring with guitarist Chuck Loeb, for whom I also serve as musical director (like he needs one!) RECENTLY PLAYED WITH: Nilson Matta, Mark Murphy, Dave Stryker, Claudio Roditi, Phoebe Snow, Billy Hart, Charles MacPherson, and Joe Morello, and am keeping busy with guitarist Gil Parris and others around NYC. > > > While I've been an all-purpose sideman for most of my career (aside from a brief stint as a panda smuggler), I now have a fledgling band of my own as well, called "No Fun Is Bad". You could file it under "fusion" (no recordings to post here yet, but we're working on that...) Mostly my original tunes, which are mostly funky contrivances accommodating mouth-watering wads of improvisation/interaction/inbreeding, with some of my favorites in clear evidence: Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, The Meters, John Scofield, etc. Ask for us by name... > > > Further reports as events warrant. Peace, MK
It seems that Christmas time is here once again, and it is time again to bring in the New Year. We wish the merriest of Christmas to you and your loved ones, and we wish you happiness and prosperity in the year ahead. Yola
DestinationDawn of Starwing Productions will be chatting live with ME. Discussing my life, music, and newly released CD, MaryAnn, A Rose...Is a Rose...Is a Rose.
Chatroom will be open, so drop and mingle.
Come check out some of the tunes from my newly released CD, which will be playing on the show.
One question that always arises and is often confusing is what time the show will be for people elsewhere about the globe.
Here is a link for Worldtime Conversion! Input is "USA East Coast" Underneath "New York City" on chart to compare final result:
I listened to your CD on the way home.. I love it!! Not at all did it make me sad the way some Christmas songs do. Instead it made me feel happy that its Christmas time and I have such talented and wonderful friends. ThanX Again XO
Hi Matt, Wow, no one has spammed up your comments yet. I turn my html off, because of some of the BS that gets on the page. But I find this kind of advertising quite effective in hits to my website. Let me be the first. hehe As I said, love your playing. Hope to hear you again soon. I am a pianist for peace and my mission is to create a peaceful world by writing, recording, and performing music from the heart. Love and Peace Always and Everywhere, Louis
