That’s right, the Broadway musical. It’s tons of fun—the cast is great and the band is slammin’! I’m there for most shows, except Wednesday evenings when we play at Bandera. You’ll love it!

Bandera features really good food, great drinks, a nice wine list, and, best of all, a Steinway piano in good shape.

This will be a great set! We’ll be playing songs from Alison’s new album “This is a Bird.” The band features John McLean on guitar, Larry Kohut on bass, Tim Davis on drums, yours truly on keys, and probably a couple more outstanding musicians. Check out Alison and her projects at www.alisonruble.com.

I’m thrilled to present a set of my own music at the Chicago Jazz Festival this year. Many thanks to Kent and the fine folks at the Jazz Institute and the City of Chicago for asking us to be part of this tradition. I’m working on some new collaborations with saxophonist Chris Neal who will join my regular trio including Ryan Bennett on drums and Lorin Cohen on bass. Please come out and make a day of it!
