7/23/2008 - Played a nice concert at the 92nd st Y last night w/Bill Charlap, Peter Washington, Kenny Washington, Kurt Elling, Ted Rosenthal, Brian Lynch (my cuz), and my old friend Jimmy Greene, who I hadn't seen in a while. It was a night of all Bernstein's music, which is great of course. Ted and Brian did some really nice arrangements, and Kurt sang his ass off, especially on Somewhere, which was really amazing. Everybody played great, as you'd imagine w/such a lineup. Charlap does a great job each year putting together 2 weeks of great concerts there for the Jazz in July Fest. Over the weekend I played a nice gig w/Loren Schoenberg in New Hampshire; on the way to and from that I hung out w/the kids and Jen at or near her place in the country. She has a place on a lake, great for swimming, floating around, and especially in Liam's case ( my 9 yr old), fishing. He's just a natural born fisherman-can't get enough of it. Don't know where he got it, but if he's near water he's always finding something in the water w/buckets, nets, poles, or even just his hands! Shane digs it too, but not to that level. I'm playing a concert for the great singer Barbara Lea friday eve., have a student coming in from Japan, and a few gigs early next month. Did an interview w/Brian Camelio on the Louie B. Free show the other day which was fun. Getting a few things together for the fall w/the nonet-now I just have to get some writing done for it! Alan Ferber is helping me by getting parts on Finale; I'm not the neatest writer, so having them printed out will help a lot. Thanks for checking in...
