March 2009

Things are kicking into gear nicely now for 2009. My new cd, Sketchbook is released on Jazzizit Records & is an old fashioned 2 tenor roar up with the great Eric Alexander. We're kick off a tour at the end of March, starting with 3 nights at Ronnie Scotts, then some dates around the UK, Sweden, Denmark & Germany.

My collaboration with the crazy & inspired Brazilian genius, Chico Chagas, is going well & we have some nice Eastern European festivals in the book.

I am doing a series of workshops with the Lincoln youth big band, Jazz Vehicle, culminating in concerts alongside various projects under my direction (Dave O'Higgins Septet, Jazzcotech Dancers & Chico Chagas guesting, etc) as part of the Jazz Meets Architecture program, more of which later...
