May Update: Gig in Brattleboro VT and new friends

admin — Tue, 18 May 2010 00:34:09 +0000

I have a gig coming up at someones house in Brattleboro Vermont on May 20th at 7 o’clock, invited by a friend who plays at the Vermont Jazz Center and is one of the best composers I have ever met!! Also, I made the Berklee 5 week Workshop on a fully paid scholarship. I look forward to playing with new people and making something new and discovering more in music and life.

I recently made the switch to Rico Jazz Selects, as I have found they give me the best “me” sound, from what went to ordering one box to test is now a permanent switch, great job Rico!

What a day in Boston!

Yesterday, I went down to Boston and stopped by the Berklee High school Jazz Festival. I went to the 3rd Level and stopped by the Rayburns and JodyJazz Mouthpieces tables. I had such a blast trying Jody Espinas mouthpieces out! They are true masterpieces and I love them! Next I went over to the Rayburns table, which had a wealth of different mouthpieces and a few Selmers horns (alto/tenor). I only had my alto so I tried the Selmer Reference 54, although it was not as good as my Keilwerth.

Later, I go down to Rayburns, planning to try out horns. We get there and Emilio, the legendary repairman as many people as well as my self know, tell ms Kenny Garrett was in the back practicing. Luck takes hold and I get to hear him playing warm up excerpts, some standards, and various scales, how cool was that! Lucky me I got his autograph and got to talk with him a bit. A day in Boston, like no other day!!!

Happy New Year.

hello everyone, just giving a update post New Year.

This past week has been quiet, not a lot of playing due to weather. I’m planning on submitting my Berklee 5 Week audition form along with a submitted form for the Workshop there.

I will be at Slades Bar and Grill this Tuesday and will be going to JOSA Jazz in Grantham NH on January 31st.

Experiences at Berklee

Hi, here to update ( I know its been awhile due to technical difficulties), I have been at Berklee 5-Week program on a full tuition paid scholarship. It has been great, I have met a lot of new people and friends who are great people and great musicians. Sometimes in fact, I believe that I learn more just being in a musically friendly environment helps me learn more about playing and how to get better as a musician. Though there have been ups and downs, It has been a great experience.

I look forward to updating.
