I just ended a really great semester with two Learn To Groove classes at UVA. It was fantastic to meet and work with so many talented, interesting and considerate students. I enjoyed getting to know everyone. One of the high points was a recital performance in Old Cabell Hall by the Learn To Groove ensemble. In class guest artists Humberto and Madeline Sales and Kevin Davis also added a rare opportunity for students to play with authentic Brazilian and Afro-Cuban musicians.

We are looking forward to playing in the new Hartwood Center in Abingdon this coming Friday. This is a beautiful venue. If your in the area please come by! Adam Larrabee on guitar and Randall Pharr on bass.

It was fantastic to play with Stanley Jordan. He is an amazing! A truly unique player and inspiried performer. We had a wonderful concert with Rusty Farmer on bass. Cyrus Chestnut opened the show with a magnificent solo piano performance. Cyrus sat in with us for the last two tunes. Which was also amazing!

I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to perform with the JMU Jazz Ensemble and Bobby McFerrin, one of my favorite artists!
