Add to My Profile | More VideosWhen I think of jazz there are a coupe of names that come into mind. Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, etc. Blue Moon is a classic tune that I've always enjoyed playing. Catch me playing two choruses over changes that, to me, are some of the most funky and feel good from the big ol' book of jazz. You caught me in an impromptu, the way it should be!Ah, a ride back the first summer in Berklee. Playing with friends from all over the world. Vermont, Germany, Switzerland, Israel and Me (Costa Rica, Mexico and US). We had fun that day! It was really fun to play with the two other guitar players in the session. They had very different conceptions. One of those guys was BEN AZAR! He's a fantastic player, he does it all and I recommend that you check him out.Anyways. I'm sorry I haven't updated this page for so long it's just that in Costa Rica it really's like you can't do anything, as a musician, but sleep and eat. What I mean is that there is really little time and money to work on music that you love that isn't going to take care of your immediate survival needs.When I go back to the states I know there will be plenty more action and plenty great players to make the music that I hear. In the mean time I'm just preparing for what I hope to be a really fruitful 2009 and 2010.
