For several months now, I have been playing with a wonderful pianist and improvisor Matt Endahl. It is so great to have someone to improvise with again. We are performing out for the first time with illustrious violinist, composer and pedal wizard Alicia Enstrom this Tuesday on Chris Davis award winning FMRL concert series. Details can be found at this link http://fmrlarts.org/ We play at 7pm, Ziona Riley follows us and Atlanta Trombone/Sax Duo Jeff Cromptom and Peter Sloan finish out the evening.
