July 2004 International Tour

My July international tour is coming together, including my first visit to the Baltic States. I'll be playing July 2-4 in Riga, Latvia at the RigasRitmi Festival. In a new collaboration I'll be performing there with American drummer Brian Melvin, who played and recorded with electric bass legend Jaco Pastorius. Brian currently plays with some of the cream US jazz players like David Kikoski and Larry Grenadier so I'm looking forward to playing with him. After Riga Brian and I and Estonian bassist Toivo Unt will play on July 7 in Pärnu, Estonia which is referred to as the Estonian "summer capital", should be very exciting and different. We're also going to play in Finland and other places. On the way to Europe I will stop in Seoul, Korea and do some concerts and television appearances being arranged for me by a major jazz promoter there. As always, I'm trying to add other dates in, maybe Russia, maybe Germany, will post again as new dates come up.
