Playing tomorrow (or later today-it's 3 am) at the newly refurbished Neptune Theater for TeenFeed's Volunteer appreciation party.

Learning a new Monk tune (no, I don't know them all) called "Brake's Sake". Doug Lilla found it in the new book of Monk published by Hal Leonard.

Getting ready to record "Twang" with the Seattle Jazz Composer's ensemble-a piece for 12 players dedicated to Kentucky banjoist Roscoe Holcomb. Playing on a few pieces by other composers, too, for an upcoming CD on the Broken Time label. Thanks to Nate Omdal and Michael Owcharuk for their hard work .

The Distract Band rises from the grave! We'll be playing at Vito's on Madison monthly starting in January...thanks to Mike O for setting it up...
