Goings On

It’s the middle of 2023, and I am finally updating my webpages. It’s been an amazingly busy year being back in New York and also playing a lot in Ohio with a new group called: Jack Schantz and His Jazz Unit;  Featuring ME! It’s an octet with players from The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra with whom I’ve played many times. The musicians include my beloved pianist Rock Wehrmann and good friend Bassist Aidan Plank. I’ve played at Spike Wilner’s perfect jazz club, Mezzrow a couple of times already and hope to again in the fall. In New York I can be found with my buddy, Jon Davis on piano or my dear old friend Ray Macchiarolla on guitar, at many different venues. Occasionally I sit in with The Nighthawks at Birdland on a Monday night, if I am in town. I continue to tour with The Harry James Orchestra, which is the most fortunate gig a vocalist could ever have. I also just got the word that I will be back in France at Jazz Amarinois in October of 2024. So stay tuned for more performances and art. Thank you for your support and interest.
