Ahhh...Musical Bliss!

This past week i had the oppurtunity to play with a fabulous cast of top rated musicians in NYC. Mr. Joe Locke on vibraphone,Geoffrey Keezer on Piano & Keyboards and Mr.Terreon Gully on Drums. This was one of those rare gigs where i played both electric and acoustic basses pretty evenly across the board when it came to reportoire.
Let me tell you.....this was a week to remember...every night was on a musically high level..... plus these are some of the nicest cats on earth! I love it when that goes hand in hand. Thanks fellas.....and thank you to those who came out and supported.

On my way to start a month long run in Europe next week....hope to write a bit more over there....always something interesting going on over seas.

I wanna send my condolences out to the masterful latin jazz pianist Hilton Ruiz's family. Hilton died misteriously in New Orleans a week ago. He had been a in a coma for weeks prior. The word is that he may have been beaten to death......no one knows the truth right now.
I only met Hilton once at the Newport Jazz Festival some years back....he seemed to be a very nice cat.His music shall live on.

My prediction for the NBA finals stands!! Dallas in 6!!!!
