Getting all Jazzy and Schooly & Such

Getting your grub on
Eat your vegetables & fruit to stay healthy!

Incredible summer this year. Hope yours was too. Tons of great music and some incredible hangs with most of the folks I love dearly. Right now we’re missing the offspring pretty badly though! Taylor’s on his way home, the long way, on his bike. You can keep up with them on their blog here. Rumor has it, Erin will touch down in the east this holiday season too! I am going to try and stay cool and maintain a modicum of decorum but I will tell you….I’M PRETTY DARNED EXCITED!@#!$@#!@$!%@^%$#^%$#…those are happy expletives. So, now it’s time to spend quality moments with oodles of stoodles in the halls and rehearsal studios and music cabins and teaching studios across the northeast and hunker down on the 12 note plan for world peace and good vibration DOMINASHUN….the notes will ring out with JOY throughout the land! Keep practicing and getting down with those you cherish. Here are a few upcoming opportunities to share some sounds with my friends and I. We’d love to hang with YOU!
