An original song recorded a few years ago in Brisbane

Baden Powell composition recorded at the Brisbane Jazz Club. Just a short edit

I haven't read much discussion about Roy Ayers. I found his LP, "Daddy Bug & Friends", converted it to MP3 and been listening to it a lot recently.

He is a stick dropper when not using traditional grip. He likes octaves (me too).

Who needs 4 mallets?! ;-) (wth!!)

Since a bunch of folks are working on Ellington/Strayhorn, I decided to try and learn Isfahan tonight. The recording above is my end result.

This is a composition of mine called Autumn Rains which was recorded about 4 years ago.

This is a great shot from our Jazz Festival last weekend which featured Tony and Larry McKenna. It was such a pleasure to play with these guys and a great big band. Love the way Larry is watching Tony doing his solo
