Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play

50 years ago today

Many Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at the Jazz Standard last week. Feeling quite humbled and honored. So Many Thanks

I'll be speaking with Ashley Kahn tonight @ 8pm Apple Store in Soho. If you are in NYC, please come by.

Playing in Washington DC tonight and tomorrow @ Bohemian Caverns with a killer group of musicians - hope to see you there.

Spirit Fiction released today. Very proud to be on Blue Note. Hope you will check out the recording.

Appearing at the Birdland in NYC this week. One of the greatest jazz venues anywhere. Come and check us out if you are in town.

All my best in 2011. Here is a recent clip of the band from our last tour. Hope you enjoy it. youtube.com/watch?v=3vxFosVi… via @youtube

All my best to you for a Happy New Year.

The audiences were fantastic - Many Thanks to everyone who came to see us.

Shout outs to The Outpost, Yoshi's, The Dakota, and the Jazz Showcase for treating us so well.

Back in NYC after a great tour with the band. Luis, EJ, and Drew played their behinds off every night.

Ravi Coltrane turns up the heat at the Jazz Showcase - chicagotribune.com shar.es/Xsnwg

In Chicago - and its cold. But no worries, the gigs indoors. Jazz Showcase tonight thru Sunday.

Looking forward to it.

The Dakota Bar and Grill - where I first played roughly 20 years ago with Elvin Jones - Its a new room since then but still a great vibe.

Caught my first glimpse of snow this winter arriving in Minneapolis today. Its cold out but we're going to have some fun at the club tonight

In Oakland today (nice to be back at sea level) playing Yoshi's tonight through Sunday. Love the Bay area - should be a fun weekend.

Though it is pretty brutal playing the saxophone at 5300 feet -

RCQ had a great time in Albuquerque - great audiences. Many Thanks to Tom Guralnick and all the folks at the Outpost for hooking us up.
