Los Angeles, Europe and concert with Herbie Hancock

Hi everyone! I am back in Los Angeles after a little traveling in Europe. I was playing in Italy and making a new CD with David Boato! Great trumpet player from Venice, check out his website! In the studio we played with Glauco Venier-piano and the legendary Ares Tavolazzi-bass. On some of the concerts we also played with Alessandro Fedrigo-bass and Alberto Malnati-bass. I also went to Palermo/Sicily and played with Francesco Guaiana and Daniele Camarda. We did not have a chance to play together since I moved out to the west coast! It was great to play with them again! Thanks guys! Since I got back we had a great week with Terence Blanchard and next week John Scofield is coming! We are very excited about it! The Herbie Hancock concert in Paris was amazing! Thanks for UNESCO (and of course the Monk Institute) to organize a nice concert there for us! I wish we could have stayed there longer! I started to play again with Charles Chemery so check out my Itinerary for upcoming gigs!
