Fun fact: I’ll be performing the entire Sketches Of Spain suite w/ the @gilevansproject Friday on my Hardanger D’Amore, the 10-string Norwegian folk fiddle #salvehakedal made for me 8 years ago. The larger body & sympathetic strings produce a depth in tone that so reminds me of Miles Davis’ iconic sound. Below is a photo of my violin & Hardanger D’A side by side. Tomorrow night at @birdlandjazz, 8:30/10:30pm sets #hardangerdamore #milesdavis #gilevans #sketchesofspain

And the cross-stitching continues... “Sea Turtle” by @carolynmanningdesigns . Worked on this on & off for just over a year - looking forward to matting/framing it! #crossstitch #hobbies #needleandthread #eyeexercise

“Sketches of Spain” has long been my favorite

“Sketches of Spain” has long been my favorite of the Gil Evans/Miles Davis collaborations, so to have the opportunity to play the entire album w/ the @gilevansproject at @birdlandjazz just 2 miles from where the album was recorded 60+ years ago is a dream come true. Friday Aug.19th, 8:30/10:30pm sets. For tickets & additional concert into, follow the link in my bio...⬆️

For the past 3 weeks, I’ve had the incredible experience of working with master composer & multi-instrumentalist Henry Threadgill on his new multi-media work “One/The Other One”.
