Last night, I played a fun gig at Tony Starlight’s with Shelly Rudolph’s band. The band played great and was a good combination of people – Dave Captein, Russ Kleiner, and Clay Giberson.
Here are a couple of tracks from the performance:

Videos from the evening coming soon…
Last night was E4′s first show since the summer. We played at Jimmy Mak’s, subbing for Balmer while he’s on tour. We had a good sized crowd that actually stuck around through the second set.
We were lucky to have a number of friends stop by at sit in, including Ben Darwish, Shelly Rudolph, and Russ Kleiner. Also nice to see other new and old friends like journalist Tom D’Antoni, bassist Eric Gruber (who has played often in my acoustic band), and jazz super-fan and community activist Pam Jones.
Instead of the usual E4 setup, we tried it with Clay playing mostly acoustic piano, Damian on his new fretless, and me splitting my time between alto and tenor. I liked the new sound – I think there was a bit more flexibility than our usual style.
I’m hoping to get some pictures from the event soon, but for now, here’s a clip from my composition “Weasel Socks”:

Here’s the first of what I hope will be many live recordings that I post on this blog:

This is a recording of Drew Shoals‘ composition “Big Ben” from a live trio show we did at Mississippi Pizza with Clay Giberson on keyboards.
