• Saturday October 1 2016. After over five years (since August 27 2011) we're sorry to announce the end of our regular weekly midday jazz at The Java Room. It was a joy for me to play there with James Merenda and Harvey Diamond and so many wonderful guest artists, a joy to see so many fans who kept coming back to hear more, and a joy to drink the Java Room's coffee, but it's been harder and harder to keep to the schedule as we got more and more gigs. So please come to those! Stay tuned by visiting my home page and by liking my facebook page!
