Carnegie Hall 12/26/10

If you're in the City for Christmas I'll be performing at Carnegie Hall on Sunday the 26th. The performance is part of a showcase for the New York Jazz Academy. As a faculty member there I will be performing with some student ensembles as NYJA showcases our unique style of jazz education. It's shaping up to be a big night with two big bands performing simultaneously, side by side!
