| J.V. Collier. My musical mentor, great friend, and just a ridiculous musician. J.V. has been Bruce Hornsby's bassist for over 13 years now. |
| Carlos Almeida is an amazing drummer and the best bandleader on the planet. He runs two very successful bands and it's always an honor and a treat to work for and play with Carlos. Silicon Vibe is the large group, and this band just ROCKS! Jazz By Design is a made-to-order ensemble for smaller venues and events. |
| Jim McCrae. A wonderful guy and a musical savant. We played together in CrossCurrent, a terrific quartet that ventured into everything from funk to bop to nasty swamp music. :) I am still mad at Jim for moving the whole way to the other coast! I miss hanging out with him just as much as I do playing music with him...he truly has a unique voice on the guitar and I'm very lucky to have played with and learned from him. |
| Ed at Gelb Music is an absolutely amazing resource. There isn't anything about basses and amplification that he doesn't know. Plus he's a wonderful guy and a great musician. |
| Rocio....my favorite singer, a true delicate flower, and an incredible friend. If she wasn't so busy as a musician and teacher, she'd be one of them rocket surgeon type-people...her IQ is higher than my SAT score. :) |
| Hoffman's in Santa Cruz. What a place! Wonderful folks who support live jazz. And the food....it's ridiculous. Great continental cuisine with some authentic and mouth-watering German dishes as well. And then there are the desserts. Bring your appetite! |
| Times 4 - just a smokin' band, with two of my favorite musicians. Greg Sankovich and Lincoln Adler. Maurice and Kevin are the perfect drums & bass combo for this band. Catch 'em live, and buy their CD's....you won't be disappointed. |
| I met Kurt Ribak when he was playing at my father-in-law's wedding last year. He is an amazing bassist. Tone, chops, ears, and did I mention tone? Plus he's one of those cats that knows every tune ever written. When a singer calls something, he doesn't say, "What book is that in?" He says, "What key?" For this reason, I hate him. :) |
