Jefferson, It would be so nice to see you at the Outpost on Friday (as in tomorrow). If you find it in your heart to show up and have a drink with me or possibly another friend of yours...Oh my god! that would make me so happy. I hope all is well otherwise. Best
I'm proud to give you "Heavy In The Beats Vol. 1 - A Different Drum", the first installment in my FREE mixtape series dedicated to drums and percussion. "Volume 1" focuses on the avant garde side of the instrument, and features pieces from Billy Martin (of Medeski Martin & Wood), myself, and others!
