Live At St. Stephens
I couldn’t have anticipated how well yesterday’s recording went with my mentor David Liebman at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Wilkes Barre Pa. It’s truly incredible how he swooped in and literally annihilated my music without ever seeing it. This might have been in all seriousness the greatest day of my life! Special thanks to Ron Stabinsky (piano) and Tony Marino (bass) for their tireless dedication to getting the music right. Playing and gigging with them this summer really set the stage for what was a great concert and hopefully an equally fulfilling next record. My parents, relatives, old teachers, and friends were also there to enjoy and experience a truly holy day…Trane’s 86th birthday! (which Lieb would not let you forget! Haha!!)
