Well folks, after a long recovery from shoulder surgery, I’m back to playing and gigging again. To that end, here’s an excerpt of a terrific review from Rock Era magazine of Norwegian pianist-composer Runa Viggen’s new release, “Open Plains” which drummer Chris Wabich and I recorded with her at Talley Sherwood’s fantastic Tritone Recording. I even got a nice shout-out for my solo on one of the tunes. Here’s the full review: /open-plains/
Here we go. LA drummer Chris Wabich and New York pianist Misha Piatigorsky created Sketchy Black Dog exactly 15 years ago. This week the two reunite with a new team of string players as they revisit the Sketchy book of goodness. April 2 @loulou.nyc April 3 @thejazzclubny April 4 @berimbau.secondfloor All Daddy Rabbit, All the Time. THE Crew: Marina Alba, May Yu, Bram Fisher, John Sample, & Peter Slavov. #classicrock #jazztrio #stringquartet #newyork #sketchyandout
Three great percussionists playing together; what could be more fun?!!! Brad Dutz, Scott Breadman and Chris Wabich really PLAYED; they were like kids delighting in their toys, in the sounds and the rhythms, and in one another - at Birds Of a Feather Jazz Lounge in DTLA. They made me feel sound in a different way, and I hope you enjoy hearing them as much as those of us who were there did...

I have a special show on February 26 in a new jazz spot in downtown L.A. called @birdsofafeatherjazzlounge . It’s a beautiful performance space, partnered with a Thai restaurant. I’ll be teaming up with bass dynamo, @ricfierabraccibass , and the uniquely creative percussionist, @monkeydrummer1 . We’ll be doing contemporary takes on jazz tunes, as well as some jazz-infused takes on pop tunes (with a few vocals!). A limited number of student tickets are available.
Hope you can make it out!
Birds of a Feather
