On July 7, I'll be playing for a private event at the Whitney Center in Branford CT, a retirement community.  I always like playing there so many of those folks actually saw Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Tommy Dorsey!  It's a blast and I love it.

In the evening I will be at Ayuthai Restaurant in Guilford CT for some small group jazz with Jeff Fuller and David Childs
