Bad But Good Boys
by Joe Abbott
Featured prominently on my most recent album is the irrepressibly spirited clarinet/sax playing of Joe Abbott. He also writes charming acoustic country songs, which will make you both laugh and cry!

Just Like That
by Greg Ruby Six
To my ears, this is the finest album I have played on to date. Greg is spectacular, and the musical chemistry between Jon Doyle and Evan Price is electrifying... in a totally acoustic kind of way!

Black Coffee Blues
by Albanie Falletta
I am a ginormous fan of Albanie Falletta's, and you should be too. She's a masterful interpreter of jazz, blues, and ragtime, AND her wise-beyond-her-years songwriting slays me. Check her out!!

This Year's Kisses
by Brooks Prumo Orchestra
supported by 65 fans who also own “I Got Rhythm”
The laid-back groove of the Brooks Prumo Orchestra hits the sweet spot. This is fine swing without any try-hard hype. The studio mix is balanced, and it hops and slides like music should (unlike some other contemporary jazz). "Out of Nowhere" is outstanding: inspired arrangement, knockout playing, genuine emotion. The vocal numbers get better with every listen, and "Blue Lester" has about it a certain sunburn-on-your-skin mint julep nighttime ease.
