SGLJO in Colorado


It was great to perform two concerts in Colorado this week! The first one at the MOXI Theater in Greeley, Colorado; the second at the prestigious Dazzle Jazz Club in Denver.



MOXI with the Boss and Brad

It is always a blast to share the stage with so many talented musicians. Thanks to each one of you for making it possible. It is always humbling and exciting to hear these guys and girls performing my music.

Helen, Pablito, and Daniel killed it on the percussion. They also did a great clinic on Dominican percussion at UNC.

Wil, Bri, Kenyon, Darrel, and Joel were amazing! Including the sax soli on "Homage to Tavito" :-)



Having Greg Gisbert and Brad Goode on the same stage is like having Michael Jordan and Lebron James on the same team, Wow!!! Miles, Chris, and David were equally great.

Paul McKee makes playing trombone look so easy! Mike Conrad always brings it! (And yes Mike, I do know your name!! hahaha). It was the first time with Zach and John, it won't be the last!

Dana and Erik, what can I say? Simply great!

It's an honor to share the stage with you guys and to be colleagues at UNC with most of you!

I also had the opportunity of talking to Susan Gatsched and Arturo Gomez at KUVO, the Denver Jazz station. To top it off, at the Dazzle show, we had the privilege of having Arturo as the MC for the night. 

Thanks to Michael Schreier for the article he penned for Dazzle and for having us there.

This week, I also had the opportunity to talk to Trish Hennessey on her show Hybrid Jazz. Thanks Trish! It was great talking to you. To listen to the show and my interview (which begins at 1:00:00)

Hope to see you again soon.
