FRIENDS!!! It would appear that I made some mistakes on my previous gig post, not least of which was the agonizing lack of dotted red spelling underlines. Now we all get to scoff at Apple’s tactless disrecognition of such beautiful names as “Kahan”, “Yamil”, and “Nonna”. And if I may let you in on a little secret, I’m currently seeing another one under “disrecognition”; it would appear that the dictionary is missing a word. MERRIAM, HAH! MERRIAM, HAH! WEBSTER WEBSTER WEBSTER!! …. Welp, my attempt to summon two absolute nerds from the dead might have failed, but perhaps your attempt to make it out to one of these gigs won’t! To increase your odds I’d recommend shooting for one that hasn’t already happened. If you fail to heed my advice, do know that I appreciate your gusto. With love, Your friend Karl

That’s right people of the world, REJECT GRAPHIC DESIGN, SCREENSHOT YOUR NOTES APP, LEAVE THE LITTLE SCROLL BAR ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. This is that level of authenticity that you’re not gonna find on “Canva”. That you’re not gonna find on “Photoshop”. This is that raw shit. That “sure I’ll put the little blue bubbles in the background just to give the semblance of professionalism” shit. That “the music speaks for itself” shit. And if you don’t believe me? Well, I guess you’re just gonna have to swing by to one of these shows and see for yourself. IF YOU EVEN HAVE THE CAJONES!!! (See that? Leave them with a sort of challenge. ABCASOARWYFL: Always Be Creating A Sort Of Aggressive Relationship With Your Followers, Lol. Anyways please buy my book I really really really really really need the money.

Hello Instagram. The time has come for my bi-yearly post, and it’s just.. well…. so….. boring, isn’t it!!!! A bunch of text that will take precious scrolling time to read, no real sexy face to look at, no dragon sighting or upsetting statistic.. Well, you’re right. These are just my gigs for the month. Nothing much to look at. BUT, should you find a little whimsy in your heart, I’d love to see YOUR sexy face at one of these shows, and maybe if you come say hello we could go looking for dragons or discuss upsetting statistics! Your choice. But hey, I appreciate ya either way, and I hope you’re staying safe and warm out there. Blessings my friends…. Xoxo, Karl. (P.S. if you ARE gonna come to one, come to my Frankie’s show! Feb 20th! 11pm! Swinging hard with Connor Lum, Josh Krushel and Dan Howard! Kenny Garrett will be played…!!! Ok bye<3)

'Twas time for another post, think you not? Here's a little intro I did to Alice Coltrane's "Blue Nile" off of Translinear Light at the Rickshaw over the weekend. Forever grateful to @theinfidelsjazz for giving me so many opportunities to express myself. Love y'all @_ruthieha @pacohamusic @harmeetvirdee_music @suinpark.music . Heart = full <3
