I had the pleasure of playing with @dcarpelbass and @hardernussbaum in a chordless trio setting at the @driftwoodcharbarmpls last night. Here’s a snippet of “I’ll Be Seeing You”. Thanks to @tombobboy for filming. #trumpet #minneapolismusic #trio #bass #drums

B.F.G (Baldwin, Fletcher, Grindberg) is a band I played with in high school and we are making our triumphant return playing some @letm0de compositions at the Acadia Cafe on December 17th. Come see me get payback on myself for not practicing this song before recording this video.

I’m hanging out with @jakebjazz today, who played on my recent release “Fly Season.” He has toured and lived in different places, so I ask Jake what is special about the Minneapolis music scene. I’ll be releasing a music video of this song next week. Thanks for supporting the project “Minneapolis Horn Power.” #agstered #minneapolisfunk #minneapolismusic #scottagster #hornsection
