Happy Birthday today, Stevie Wonder!
Many moons ago Mr. Wonder surprised us and sat in with an all-star band I was in at The Iridium. Would love for that to happen again!

Creed Taylor was born today in 1929.
The records he made were some of the most iconic in music history, and I could not be more proud to be on so many.

Today is the birthday of Gil Evans, inspired composer, pianist and all-time great big band arranger. I sure do miss him!
This is a tune I have fond memories of recording with Mr. Evans: youtu.be/u1IaoaNmiEg

Join me for a #flashback to May of 2008, when #HoustonPerson and I released our album “Just Between Friends.'
Houston is a wonderful person to play duos with; in fact, this is one of 6 or 7 duo albums we made together.
