april 2009 - on tour with DMB

a day off in atlanta today...we have just come from new orleans where the band played jazz fest on a beautiful, somewhat overcast, breezy, glorious new orleans day. so many people and so much love...there is still a lot to do there but there has a lot of work is being done. i miss that city even before i leave. so much music, never enough time to hear it all! the DMB tour is going well and there is a lot of playfulness and great energy on stage. i'm having a great time being out with the band.

i did a clinic in charlotte at UNCC a few days ago for a really great sounding college jazz ensemble. young players with lots of passion and great thought provoking questions. i really enjoy being able to get out and see and hear these groups of players.

on saturday, we had a great show in nashville and i saw a lot of friends and family. it's always nice to be home. 

i hope everyone has been having a good time at the shows. It's been great seeing some friends around the country and i'm looking forward to more of that. we all thank you for listening. see you out there. peace, jc
