  • Bio

    The ground for me is always the gratitude that springs naturally from our situation, that we are attempting to spend our lives as jazz musicians. This is a path of infinite learning, filled wherever possible with the chance to share joy and wonder. Amazingly, each time we play we have the opportunity to let the music tell us where to go, teaching us over and over again the value of softening the sense of a self – and so turning on its head the view that we are in control. Sure there are plenty of obstacles to making a life of music, sometimes even to just letting the music flow freely. And though it is through training our minds that wisdom is possible - it is also our minds that can hold us back the most. And so our greatest challenge is in learning how to work with that. Trusting that it was our love of sound that brought us to where we are: we know this because we experience first hand that it is our dedication to that love of sound (listening) that keeps us uncluttered in the moment. In listening deeply we find we can discover how to proceed, what we need to work on, what we need to let go of.

      Instead of vowing to honor and obey each other, we should swear to aid and abet each other.


    Human physiology does not direct all of its own functions; it is interdependent. It must be steadied by the physical presence of another. This is necessary for both physical and emotional health. In many ways, humans cannot be stable on their own—they require another to survive.


    If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair.

    But whether it be dream or truth, to do well is what matters. If it be truth, for truth's sake. If not, then to gain friends for the time when we awaken.
    --Pedro Calderon de la Barca


    May all your storms be weathered,
    and all that is good get better.

      Dear Alfredo, Thanks for your kindness and for listening to my music. I am recording a new CD at the end of next month. We all miss you up here in Boston. The Four Seasons Hotel took the piano out of the Bristol Lounge - There is no more piano music in any of the hotels. And so I left Music Management. (There are so few party gigs anyway.) I am teaching at the New England Conservatory and really enjoying it. My students are amazing. My best to you and Sylvia and your family.
      much love,
      bert

    Dear Bert, I couldn't agree more with Corinne. Your music is special, and that's why I'm your fan. And I like your statement about gratitude, music and our minds, learning and wisdom. Hope to hear you play again soon. Haroldo
