On Saturday, February 16th, I was honoured to be a guest on CBC's "Fresh Air" radio program, in an interview with host Mary Ito. Here's a link to the recording of the interview.

It's been a busy holiday season, and I'm excited for upcoming events in February, March and April. Look for me with Christian Overton, Nancy Walker and Mike Downes' "In the Current" ensemble (plus a CD recording with Mike's group). Also, I'll be at the Homesmith Bar (Toronto) with my trio in April, and I'll be debuting some compositions on piano and baritone saxophone.

Hi, friends, my new album, "Identity" is finally available!

I'm back home after a great night at the Rochester Jazz Fest!  Thanks to all who attended. Special thanks to festival organizers John Nugent and Marc Iacona for putting on such a great festival year after year. Watch a video/interview from the show here.

After an exciting weekend of music in Toronto and Gananoque, it's almost time to head to Rochester New York for the Rochester International Jazz Fest.

After an intense week of great music with Mike Downes and Nancy Walker, I'm gearing up for my forthcoming studio recording, "Identity".

I have three exciting performances coming up in May! On May 9th, I'll be performing with Mike Downes' "In the Current" ensemble at Gallery 345 (Toronto). He's written some fantastic new music for this occasion, and the ensemble is stellar!  Plus, I'll be playing many, many, many instruments.  (I may need a roadie for the gig... any takers?)

Thanks to David Restivo, Morgan Childs and Mike Downes for a fabulous afternoon in Guelph! We performed some of my quartet music for an attentive, enthusiastic audience at the MacDonald Stewart Art Gallery at the University of Guelph yesterday.

I'm happy to report that I've finally secured a studio date for my new recording, "Identity". This recording will feature Dave Restivo (piano), Mike Downes (bass), Mark Kelso (drums), and some surprise special guests!

I just finished a wonderful show at Hugh's Room with the lovely Suzana da Camara Cabaret. The band plays a mix of jazz and Latin music, and Suzana sings in English, French and Portugese. She's definitely one to watch!

October has been an action-packed month for me!  I had a wonderful two weeks of concerts, the first with the Don Thompson Big Band, and the second with the Humber Faculty Big Band featuring Maria Schneider. Preparing Maria's music was a challenge, but the concert came together well.

Roots and Branches is in stores now!

Look for me at the Rex in Toronto on Labour Day weekend with my new quartet! We will also be performing at the Jazz Sudbury Festival the following week.

I just went into the studio with Toronto musicians Dave Restivo, Larnell Lewis and Mike Downes, to record some new original music. Looking forward to sharing it with all of you soon!

I'll be performing with the great Bob Mintzer and the Humber Faculty Big Band in October.

I'm excited to be heading to Ottawa in mid-May to adjudicate at Musicfest Canada!
