Tour Blog, Fall 2018, Day 9
Although tour has now ended, I am going to pick up where I left off and continue giving some day-to-day posts from the road. These will lead up to Polyrhythmics’ big shows in Portland this Friday and Bend this Saturday, as well as the grand finale in Seattle on November 24. A few things about […]

Tour Blog, Fall 2018, Day 4
On Tuesday night we played in St. Paul, Minnesota, at a club called Vieux Carre. Vieux Carre is a sit-down dinner club that focuses on the food and culture of New Orleans, as evidenced by the name. The walls of the club are covered with beautiful black and white photos like the one below of […]
Tour Blog, Fall 2018, Day 2
Hi Everyone! I’m blogging from Nebraska. Our first show of the tour in Denver went well. I think we’ve built a little following over the several times we’ve played there, and the city has a certain circle of folks that are into creative groove-based music. Also, I always look forward to meeting up with my old friend Justin and his friends […]
Tour Blog, Fall 2018, Day 1
Hi all! I thought I would try to bring the tour blog back (it’s been years!) Last night/this morning I took a 12:50 am flight to Denver, arriving at 4:30 am by myself. The Polyrhythmics van and trailer were somewhere near there at the time, having left Seattle Thursday morning with a few members in […]
Brian Blade Fellowship
I first heard the Brian Blade Fellowship, now known as Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band, in 2003 when they performed at the Ballard Jazz Festival. I was not familiar with any of the musicians in the band except for Blade, and it was honestly one of the most significant turning points in my musical […]
Ghost Note Tour
Last month I spent 17 days on the road with Polyrhythmics, having played 13 shows, and on 11 of those shows we shared the stage with the band Ghost Note. Although the road is always thought-provoking and eventful (in addition to a lot of work), it’s the sharing of the stage that’s prompting this post. […]
Saxophone Siblings
I started playing music by learning clarinet when I was 9. I had 2 cassette tapes: one of Swing clarinetist Benny Goodman and one of saxophonist Kenny G. That ended up being the only Kenny G music I had, but I did go on to get several Benny Goodman tapes after that. I then went […]
