2025 In no particular order of chronological significance:
Spent a lot of time at Producer Monday, performed in a AJR music video, played at the Red Rooster 15th anniversary, recorded on some amazing projects like Paul’s mixtape, read 103 books, played not-enough salsa, took a lot of photos, ended the year in Louisiana with Is.
Love y’all love New York here’s to surviving 2026
Thank you to Ray and the Red Rooster for having us back again this coming Tuesday the 28th! Playing a lot of my favorite music from the Jazz Messengers, Wayne Shorter, Cannonball Adderley, and more! Great food great band great hang!

RIP Juno (??? - 1/7/24)
For those of you that knew her and were lucky enough to be graced by her presence, Juno was literally the sickest fucking cat ever. I adopted her right when Covid hit, and she was always by my side until the very end. Six apartments and two continents later, she never stopped being the sweetest and chillest cat of all time. She was always down to hang, and if I was home she was always my little shadow, and usually on top of me somehow; she loved to sit in my lap while I practiced, watch us cook (while trying to kick our ass to get to the food), and just generally demanded to be included in whatever festivities were occurring. She loved mint chocolate chip ice cream, Big Macs, warm laundry, and napping in the Spanish sun.
Unfortunately her numerous health issues finally caught up to her, and after declining rapidly, she left us she came in to my life, peacefully knocked the fuck out in my arms
