Welcome to my new website! It's a work in progress, I will be adding practice and study materials, stories from the road, life ideas, photos of the cats I met, and all sorts of rants about everything!
I just had a kickin' jazz hit in Tokyo Japan with The Marshall McDonald Jazz Project, with David Berkman, piano, Pat Glynn, bass, and Gene Jackson on drums at the B Flat Club in Akasaka Tokyo.

Below are some photos from the B Flat Club courtesy of Etsuko Iida.
