I decided to start something new. I was up late making music, an old song came to mind. I recorded it in 2 track and added some vocals. Free here in FLAC, WAV and MP3 formats.

TEDxWDC. Today that TEDx was dope is an understatement by leaks and bounds, like a Taylor pastrami is just a sandwich… Whatever. I had a blast, the audience was attentive I saw old faces and met new folks with great energy. I can’t wait until the next one. Super grateful to be able to share ideas, theories and concepts.

Consultations: “What’s in a Name”

I can consult. I have experience, actually experiences or if you’re from my city spurrience..yeesh. Over the last 18+ years in this business, aside from being the “Artiste” (said with nasally French inflection), I’ve served as: booking agent, tour manager, contract specialist, attorney, jailhouse lawyer, accountant, collector, procurer of rare goods, connector, maven, a&r, engineer, arranger, composer, producer, beat maker, electrician, import/export, mentor, publicist, promoter, graphic designer, bag man, door man, bartender, bar back, sideman, leader, stan, purveyor, mule, manager, doctor, driver, navigator, roadie, merch:hash:gun slinger, referee, bad:good cop, owner, employee, customer service agent, copyright specialist, traveler, negotiator, translator, journalist, director, DP, editor, videographer, extra, star, blogger, resident artist, educator, clinician, “ambassador”, go between and emissary. There are probably a heap of epithets both considerate and not safe for work (read expletive laden) that someone could ramble on about. So as of late, post numerous phone and email inquiries,  i’m embracing the “consultant” moniker and going forward, will more than likely associate a fee to the aforementioned services…if and when rendered. Serious or partially serious inquiries only. Easy

Finally, I get to talk about this jont. Respect to Robert Small Entertainment and Robert Small for hitting me up. I have an original song in this movie.. I did a documentary  with Mr. Small a few years back, it’s called Something Out of Nothing, so it pays to try not to burn bridges and maintain professionalism at all times. The documentary about the life of Bernie Mac…I AIN’T SCARED OF YOU..airs Sunday after Laugh At My Pain on Comedy Central. It’s an honor to a part of a film about an icon, who bought others a ton of joy and relief from every day life.

IAD to Amsterdam, to Croatia (Zagreb), to Germany (Esllingen, Koln), to Austria(Vienna, Schwaz), to Slovenia (Maribor) to IAD. 2 weeks out, great food, wine, GRAPPA!!!!!, people, cities and trains. I love train tours. Nothing like it if you have backline…quite the opposite if you are lugging equipment. I had a blast, met great people and rocked out. This time out was with the Pro-Verb Trio (me, Dafnis Prieto & Jason Lindner). I dig the perpetual sideman paradigm, it keeps you from bearing the stress of leadership and especially within this configuration, we all improvise which means that cues are what you make them and mastery of your particular instrument is beyond “key”. so jyeah. some snaps from abroad. The countryside was killer, the ICE high speed train in Germany makes me want for the US train system to get up to par. It’s crazy. Them jawns are 98% on time and you can get anywhere in a few hours. c’mon DOT, can we get this thing cracking? I mean you can go from Paris to Marseille in 2 hours on the TGV. DC to Miami on a highspeed jont in like 4-6 hours nonstop, would be killer. 1st class and food service…c’mon b. Bah…oh well. Passport stamps got some new additions,so i’m happy. Easy.
