From January 20-22, I’ll be going to the UCSD Alumni Festival, held at the incredible new arts building (as well as other on-campus locations) at the University of California, San Diego. This is a festival-not-to-be-missed. I’ll be posting photos and sounds and documenting it as much as possible. I’ll be performing with my world-class alumni
A rabbit is quiet, gentle, has very big ears and a very small mouth. If everyone listened (deeply would be nice) twice as much as we talked, perhaps the world would be a more peaceful place. A rabbit has soft fur, eats fresh foods and has many friends (well…and many children too). There is a
Well, I think the photos may speak for themselves but I arrived teaching at UCCS in the summer and haven’t stopped since. My full-time instructorship includes teaching Chamber Music Ensemble, Jazz History, 20th C. Music History and co-teaching with Professor Curt Smith an interdisciplinary course called Creativity which rocks… of course! So between the many

Later, more info will be posted about the wonderfully magical concert at the Sakyukan (in Niigata city) with Hisako Horikawa, but for now, let’s explore the Onidaiko Matsuri, the oni (demon)/shishi (lion) festival (actually, many
So, if you haven’t noticed by now, my work involves collaborations…of/with many different kinds of people, artists, places… I see collaborations as a medium to communicate with other artists, as well as with “non” (self-proclaimed)-artists and venues. So far here in Japan, I’ve played in small cafes, clubs, hip performing venues and even a rice
It’s been a cold Spring. At least the flowers aren’t deterred. I’m not either. Many of the flowers in my neighborhood are starting to fall, so in honor of the impermanence of the fragile beauty, I carry my camera everywhere, ready to take a shot of anything that seems even slightly gorgeous… Fortunately for me,
Instead of a Grand Finale, this last month will be the Grand Beginning. I will be returning to Japan…eventually.
