Looking forward to a few fun gigs in December with my projects. One Time Spaceman will be opening up for one of California's premier rock bands, the Mother Hips, this Saturday at 730pm. They have great vocal harmonies and Scott Thunes on bass who was the bassist with Frank Zappa all through the 80's. Very nice guy.
I have some holiday jazz gigs lined up with my good friends Larry Arone, Charlie Shoemake, Karl Welz, Darrell Voss, Jacob Odell, and Daryl Vandruff, I always enjoy making music with these beautiful musicians. I have been teaching jazz appreciation this semester at Cuesta College, and I have revisited some music (particularly early jazz) that I hadn't heard or thought about in a long time. It was a very refreshing experience for me.
To top it off, the Zongo All Stars will be doing NYE in Avila Beach again this year. I feel like the band just seems to get better and better, and I am proud of my band mates. Paul Irving, our trumpet player/manager, is the driving force behind making it happen. He had a close call in a car wreck this month but is fine, thankfully. We couldn't do it without him and our incredibly dedicated and fun audience and friends. Thanks to all of you!
