Third Coast Jazz recently performed 2 cocktail hour sets for Juliet and Milo’s Wedding Reception at The Marine Room in La Jolla, CA.

This was an uber fun gig, and we played primarily jazz standards from the great American songbook. All in all, this was a very classy event and The Marine Room is such an iconic venue to have a wedding reception. Congratulations to the bride and groom!

Once again we had the amazing and talented Whitney Shay on vocals (nominated for another San Diego Music Award for best Blues Artist), and Ed Kornhauser (also nominated for another San Diego Music Award for Best Jazz Artist).

I have three San Diego Music Award wins in the Big Band category with Big Time Operator in the 1990s, and this group comprises of a talented bunch of musicians, with fearless bandleader Jon Walters on guitars, and Tim Nunninck on saxophones.

Pure fun and good times!!!

I recently attended a vendor appreciation day event at Merrill Gardens. It felt good to be honored as one of the musicians who perform hear in rotation. And there was some good food and wine, as well as received a goodie bag!

My latest gig was with my wife’s side of the family, celebrating Lola Ba’s 90th birthday at Il Fornaio Coronado… I was a very nice event, great food, great ambience, great service… and I provided a variety of Jazz Standards and some songs done in the Django Reinhardt style of gypsy jazz. We also beat the Hurricane Hillary’s tropical storm by one day!

My grand nephew and brother-in-law look on as I play some Jazz Standards.
