Upcoming Gigs:
Oliver-Smith Incomparables
I’m working on a new project with an all-star group of hot jazz musicians from the midwest, co-led with legendary drummer Hal Smith and focusing on the style of Jelly Roll Morton’s Red Hot Peppers. Our debut album, “Stomp Your Stuff,” will be out this summer on Turtle Bay Records!
Bridgetown @ the 1905 Monthly!
Bridgetown Sextet‘s regular appearences at the 1905 continue. Catch us there one Sunday per month (most months): Jul. 19, Aug. 16, and stay tuned for dates thereafter!
Scott Joplin Festival May 27-30, 2026
I’m excited to be returning to Sedalia, MO for the second time to play at the famous Scott Joplin International Ragtime Festival – solo piano and with the Oliver-Smith Incomparables!
