Well here we have another rehearsal for your listening pleasure! This one is rather longer, giving you a bit more insight into the craziness that is a Blue Train rehearsal! Again, you can listen to it directly via the podcast button (but be patient, as it can take a while), or subscribe via the RSS feed on the right. On other news, my Jazz Voicing book is now available for purchase through lulu.com, and I will shortly be setting up a shopping cart so that you can buy CDs online from here. All very exciting stuff, but also a learning curve!

I had fun down in Tauranga for the Easter weekend jazz festival, playing a great set with Lewis McCallum on the Sunday. It was so much fun playing Lewis's material - a healthy mix of jazz and hip-hop. Be sure to grab his album when it comes out. I also played for the Miles Davis tribute which went very well - in fact we will be presenting the same thing in July at Massey University in Albany. Watch this site for details...

Grand Central Band is now down to once a fortnight at Grand Central Bar - a dumb bar management idea in my opinion. All consistency of building a crowd with a regular gig is now gone. Jerome Hendrix will be playing alternate Thursdays. So we are NOT there April 27, but will be the following, and so on. Anyway Sky City Bar 3 IS a regular on Sunday nights and we had a very good crowd last week, so come on up!!
