Happy New Year!
It has been a minute. I’ve been working on lots of new stuff; a new LLC, and working with a new team. I never had a team before, but now I have a great one. Working on getting more performance opportunities.
January 20 was a big day. It was my Jazz teacher’s birthday! Some other big stuff happened, too. Or so I’m told…;-)…
I plan to release a lot more cool stuff here this year. I have some new tunes to share, and I’m reworking some older ones, as well. There will be more Taiji and Qigong. I’ll also be releasing video courses on Jazz Improvisation and Qigong. I’ll post links when they’re published.
Here’s an improv for Ted’s 84th. I’m fortunate to have him and my other great teachers. Sailor Bob Adamson is 96, and still telling the truth to anyone who cares to listen. I will see Master Wang Fengming for more Bagua/Taiji/Qigong as soon as it warms up a little. (My own practice is progressing well, and I love to share my knowledge and experience if anyone is interested). Art Lande is coming in April to perform in my town at our Music Museum. Art has been a hero of mine for 40 years, and I’m pleased to call him a friend and teacher.
Here’s an improvisation for Ted’s birthday and our new Prez.


grateful you are training with Master Wang Fengming. I met him when Yang Lash brought him to Champaign years ago. Would love to here how he has impacted your practice
