I can't thank you all enough for your support of the project! We record in less than 2 weeks, and I'm super excited to share the results with all of you!

Recording!

Greetings All!

First of all, a HUGE Thank You needs to go out to all of the amazing people who backed my Kickstarter Project! It was a great success, and I'm moving ahead with the recording! We'll be recording on my birthday - May 22, couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to be playing my music with such great musicians:

Lucas Pino - tenor sax
Alex Wintz - guitar
Dave Baron - bass
Samora Pinderhughes - piano
Jimmy Macbride - drums

This week the Juilliard Jazz Orchestra is hitting at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola with the great Mr. Frank Wess, an honor and a privilege to share the stage with him every night! The best part is getting to here is version of Strayhorn's "Lush Life" - so killin'. Then it's time for juries and the end of my last semester of my masters degree!

See you all on the other side (June!),

Nick
