NEWS:
I'm hard at work tracking and mixing what will be a Christmas 2008 CD-EP. There'll be 4 tunes on it-- 2 new Christmas originals and 2 classic xmas covers...and I'll add onto the collection every year. REVEREND STICKMAN has been doing some amazing guitar and vocal tracks and my old friend JOHN ABELLA (mojovoodoo)--anyone remember THE DORKESTRA??-- just sent some amazing bluesy guitar tracks for our rockin' Christmas blues song via email/ftp from Venice, CA this week. Definitely not enough time or we'd have more songs on the CD... so stay tuned for the 2009 version next year.
Christmas CD release will be at the December RAY AT NIGHT Art Fest 12-13-08, where I'm getting an all-star band assembled from San Diego's top players. We'll have a couple of special guests coming in for a song or two... confirmed is REVEREND STICKMAN!!
I have been talking to MERI ST. MARY regarding possible HOUSECOAT PROJECT reunion shows on the West Coast in 2009. Subterranean Records is possibly releasing our long shelved 2nd record in 2009!! Only 20 years late... the working title back then was JELLY ON THE HOOD, a reference to what we did on those long boring drives-- we put those jelly packets you get with breakfast on the hood of our vehicle and watched them blow up and off the hood. Some of them stuck on for weeks... and we were popular with bees at many rest stops.
My new CD "Double Triple" was nominated for Best Jazz Album at the 2008 San Diego Music Awards. I was truly surprised. The other artists nominated are some really amazing musicians. Karl Denson won our category, but as cliched as it sounds, it was an honor to be nominated.
"Double Triple" NOW AVAILABLE on 
OR 
"Double Triple" includes 4 new original jazz tunes (2 songs on this page), as well as a couple of jazz takes on some classic 60's pop/rock songs. I'm excited to add in an instrumental cover of Crack Daniels' song "Medicine" which is on their myspace page. It's a very cool, dark tune in 5/4 time, with sections in 6/4.
All instrumental songs on the CD, except I'm doing vocals (my best Tom Waits) on the classic public domain tune "St. James Infirmary." I learned "St. James Infirmary" from DODO, a 85+ year old singer (and ex-burlesque dancer) who I used to perform with in San Francisco in THE GRANDMA BAND. Raising a glass to Dodo now, wherever she may be. I am truly better for having known her.

BIO:
I used to play in rock bands, the most notorious being Housecoat Project which made a couple albums and toured the USA several times... long ago in a galaxy far, far away it seems.
Somehow I got turned on to jazz (inevitable for a horn player I guess) which is what I was given to play when I was learning saxophone as a kid, so I've come around full circle. I really enjoy the challenge of navigating thru all the complex chord changes and trying to improvise a logical melody. I also really love all those great old songs-- "The Great American Songbook" as they've become to be known.
I did some soundtrack work recently on a documentary about author HUBERT SELBY JR., IT/LL BE BETTER TOMORROW. The film was released in 2007 and is now available via Netflix, Blockbuster and Amazon.
