Here are a few pictures from our sold-out Regattabar gig on 11/11/23 in Cambridge MA. Many of the charts were from two of my recent and upcoming record releases. See Portfolio page for a few sneak peeks ...

The stellar band was Tierney Sutton on vocals; Mark Zaleski, Felipe Salles, and Daniel Ian Smith on woodwinds; Joe Locke on vibraphone; yours truly on piano and 'conducting'; Bob Nieske on bass; Matt Wilson on drums.
Great fun! And extra fun to have the old 'Rhythm Chowder' rhythm section back after all these years...
