About Me

About the music: This is a trio that was just put together featuring Daisuke Abe on guitar and Bryson Kern on drums.U.O.U.-This is Daisuke’s tune. It’s amazing. I wish I had written it.Take the Coltrane-This is Duke Ellington’s tune. Great melody. I wish I had written it.Even in the Midst-This is my tune. It’s OK. I did write it.About me: I grew up in Baltimore...I’m mainly a jazz acoustic bass player, but due to a late twenties musical identity crisis/slightly obsessive singer songwriter listening, I’ve been strumming a lot of G major chords as of late. I’m a regular member of the Andrew Neff Quartet (www.andrewneff.com), the Jon Irabagon Trio (www.myspace.com/jonirabagon), the Brian Breach Trio (www.myspace.com/brianbreach), and the Kenny Shanker Quartet (www.myspace.com/kennyshanker). Some of these groups actually play gigs from time to time; others do not.
