Back in Sydney

The rest of Bangkok continued to be blast, with bass player Eldee Young wanting to network me into playing in his home town of Chicago, that would be nice! Since being home on Monday I have hit the ground running with the first of three lectures I am delivering at Sydney University on jazz harmony completed yesterday, followed by a media interview for a feature to be published in a major national arts magazine. I am now about to launch into repertoire preparation and rehearsals for my new jazz trio project which will debut at Sydney's new jazz venue, the Sound Lounge at the Seymour Centre on Saturday June 11 to be followed by a CD recording at the ABC. Next week the trio is playing for the launch of the Sydney Dance Company's new season and I will also be involved in deliberations as a judge for the jazz Freedmans.
