Corporate Gig in Palm Springs

Did a duo gig in the Palm Springs area with Jon Walters of Third Coast Jazz. It was fun as always to play jazz standards, and initially it was set to be outdoors in the Master’s Plaza, but the temperatures were around 110 degrees! So, they took it indoors in one of the huge banquet rooms.

Here I am soundchecking the One Man Jazz Trio setup. Photo courtesy of Jon Walters.

So glad this turned out to be indoors in a nice air conditioned room!

Third Coast Jazz (L-R): Me on drums, fearless leader Jon Walters on guitar, vocalist extraordinaire Whitney Shay, Kevin Cooper on upright and electric bass, Ed Kornhauser on piano, Jason Hanna on pocket trumpet and vocals.

This was a great gig yesterday, doing the wedding ceremony as a 6-piece band, the cocktail hour and the dinner set. Always a pleasure to perform with these fine, talented people.

Rebecca Jade at Sycuan – July 22nd

It’s been a pleasure gigging with Rebecca Jade over the years, she is one of the few vocalists I’ve worked with in which it’s just pure magic to watch her perform. Her voice is amazing and she is one of the easiest vocalists to work with because she is a true professional and guides the band with her voice and her movements, like a conductor. She is also one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet.

The Third Coast Jazz band just finished a wedding reception with Rebecca on vocals, and it was an amazing experience as always.

And she is also an amazing singer/songwriter… so check out her music on streaming music services and all major online music outlets.

I’m grateful to gig with her (of course, I think she gigs with just about everyone in town), and I wish her the best of success in her musical endeavors.

Anyway, I was just driving down the road and guess who was on that billboard? Rebecca Jade! Awesome!
