Last Wednesday’s gig was a 100th year birthday celebration for this Japanese Lady who looks great for her age. It was an honor to play for her. And she ‘”danced” with some assistance to my rendition of Ryu Sakamoto’s ‘Sukiyaki’.

Third Coast Jazz had the opportunity to play Jazz and Dance music for Amanda and Kensuke’s Wedding Celebration, which took place at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park.

Guitarist and bandleader, Jon Walters, played solo guitar for the ceremony, among the cherry blossoms (which were in full bloom). Pianist extraordinaire, Ed Kornhauser, played the cocktail hour and were later joined by Jon Walters and saxman Jim Weiss.

It’s looking like CDs and MP3s are coming out soon for our new album, entitled “Old Fashioned”.

Here is the demo for that album.

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.
