Les Deutsch and Bill Bing have put together what promises to be an unforgettable Raymond Scott tribute concert — news has even made it over to the Raymond Scott Blog! I’m honored to be singing several of Les’ arrangements with a brilliant group of musicians: Les at the piano, Lynne Snyder on clarinet, John Brugman […]

I’m excited to be a guest vocalist at Caltech’s Bandorama again this year!  This concert is a great opportunity to hear the Caltech-Occidental Concert Band and both of the Caltech Jazz Bands. The show is Saturday, May 9 at 8PM.  The concert is in Ramo Auditorium, Building 77 on the maps here: http://www.caltech.edu/map/. No tickets […]

If you’re looking for some great choral and solo vocal music this weekend, be sure to check out the Caltech Chamber Singers this Saturday!  We’ll be performing many of our favorites, featuring works by Lassus, Morley, and Salieri, and several of us will also perform solo pieces.  The concert is at 7:30pm this Saturday, 4/25 […]

The Conspirators and I will be back at Pinocchio’s in Pasadena this Pi Day! (That’s next Saturday, 3/14, for those of you not quite geeky enough to observe the holiday.)  We’ll be playing from 7-10pm, which is prime dinner time, and, I’m reminded, everyone’s gotta eat! There’s no cover charge and all ages are welcome.  […]

On Saturday, 1/31, “The Conspirators” and I will be back at Pinocchio’s in Pasadena, swinging the joint from 8-11pm.  It’ll be a fun evening of jazz standards, swing, and blues. There’s no cover charge and all ages are welcome.  Just show up, eat good Italian food or hang out at the bar, and, as always, […]

I’m honored to be singing with the Caltech Jazz Bands again at their annual winter showcase.  If “Basin Street Blues” and a brand-spankin’-new Les Deutsch arrangement of “Christmas Night in Harlem” aren’t enough to tempt you, how about this: I’ll be sharing the stage with none other than Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers!  […]

I’m back from a series of adventures. Burning Man was, of course, awesome.  There was dust, there was fire, there was geekery, there were nicknames, there was fire, there was art, there was music … and did I mention there was fire?  Among other things, I learned how to change the alternator in the head […]

I’m getting ready to go to Burning Man for the first time.  I first planned to go so I could sing with the Black Rock City Swing Orchestra (and maybe sit in on trombone, too), but my plans have expanded!  I’ll be there for the the whole shebang, showing up a little early to help […]

I spent last week in Zurich at a robotics conference and as I hoofed it around the city in the evenings, there was music upon music at venue after venue, all of them clamoring for a little time in my ears. Now that I’m back home in Los Angeles, in the spirit of checking out […]
