Something interesting, and fun, has happened this semester. I've returned to college. Sort of. The jazz ensemble at Washington College in Chestertown was without a pianist, so I have been brought in to play with the group. Through prior workshops, I'd already built a good rapport with the students, so it was easy to just step in. There is a lot of enthusiasm, which makes it even more fun. And we are all excited to be preparing for a Mainstay Monday show featuring the group, on January 30, 2017. That will be a fun night. Hope you can come. Pictured above is Michael, from a little gig in the school cafeteria. Lis, Ben and Kevin round out the ensemble. Grammy award winning drummer Joe McCarthy is the faculty teacher for the group. A pleasure to work with all of them!
