I am happy to introduce two projects that I co-lead – (718) and Tri-Fi.
Both are creative trios exploring improvised music. Tri-Fi features myself on acoustic bass playing in a modern jazz style, and (718) is a electric bass/pedalboard free-for-all that features Tri-Fi pianist Matthew Fries on a Fender Rhodes with various effects. Both are definitely worth a listen!

The Jazz Cruise!
Floating through the Caribbean!
Would you like to go somewhere warm in February AND hear some of the best names in Jazz? If so, you need to book passage on this boat ASAP! You can find the details on the Jazz Cruise website. I will be performing with the Tommy Igoe sextet throughout the week!
I am fortunate to have the support of some great companies!
I've been using instrument cables made by a great company called Analysis Plus for a few years now. I use the Yellow Oval quitar and microphone cables, the Clear Oval speaker cables, and the Pro Power Oval power cables. I also use their complete line of audiophile home stereo cables!
My string of choice for the acoustic bass is Pirastro's Evah Pirazzi orchestral gage string. They are a synthetic core gut string that has everything I need. They feel like a gut string, sing like a steel string in the upper register, and bow great.
I bought the very first Ten2 bass amplifier from Acoustic Image in 2009. No kidding- the serial number is 00001. It is certainly the most natural sounding acoustic bass amplifier I have ever used, thanks largely to the downward firing 10" speaker. It also has a forward facing 10" speaker and tweeter. My favorite feature, however is the built in phantom power and XLR mic cable connections.
