Hi folks. Things have been busy for me. Still doing a lot of teaching and playing. I recently played a tribute to Freddie Hubbard with the Luckman Jazz Orchestra which featured Bennie Maupin and Alphonse Mouzon among others (pictured below). Challenging and very rewarding! A few noteworthy gigs coming. The Los Angeles jazz Collective is doing a festival at Cafe Metropol which will feature both JoE-LeSs shOe and Sigmund Fudge. JoE-LeSs shOe will be recording at the end of the month for our upcoming 2nd CD. We’re really excited. We have a new batch of tunes that up the quirk factor by eleven. I’ll keep you updated about the release details when they come in.
