September and October happenings
Hi everyone! I hope you had a great summer. We’re gearing into high gear here, and the fall promises to be an exciting time. My new double album, Invisible Horizon, comes out on October 15th on Irabbagast Records, and features Matt Mitchell on piano, the Mivos Quartet on strings and myself on the sopranino and mezzo soprano saxophones.
The album will be available starting October 15th over at CD Baby, iTunes, Bandcamp and other places you typically would buy recordings. I could go into specifics about the albums, but let’s have Chris Robinson from over at Point of Departure tell you about it: Invisible Horizon. I’m doing a solo mezzo-soprano saxophone show at The Treehouse in Manhattan on October 24th at 9:30pm to celebrate its release.
I’ll also be performing with Ralph Alessi’s This Against That for two separate US tours, playing at Birdland for the annual John Coltrane Birthday Week, and joining the great Brian Marsella at the Stone for back to back nights. Hope to see some of you out and about!
