One is not allowed to play covers at the AS220, so this solo set will be without my 80′s deconstructions or my tributes to my jazz heros (Monk, Mingus, Bird etc). All originals only… although I may sneak in some contra-facts… you can’t copyright harmonic changes or form…so if I play a melody over some chords that sound like Stella By Starlight and call it Martha by Moonlight… its all mine!

This is a triple bill featuring some local URI talent (several are current or former students of mine) looking to make an impact and spark the RI jazz scene. The Way Out, and the Red Hughes Quartet will play the first two sets before me.
