Prayers Remain Forever

Very excited to be a part of Martin Bresnick's fantastic new album, Prayers Remain Forever,  now available from Starkland Records.  The estimable Ian Rosenbaum and I tackle Martin's A Message from the Emperor, a wonderful work for two speaking percussionists, based on Kafka's final short story.  I'm proud to be in such great company: Lisa Moore and Ashley Bathgate play the crud out of Prayers Remain Forever, and I'm entranced by Sarita Kwok's rendition of Josephine the Singer. Buy it or gift it!

Practice Zone

Entering a heavy practice zone. Good thing it aligns with a chocolate-heavy time of year. Stay tuned for upcoming concerts, collaborations, and recordings!

Bretagne

In Brittany, eating wonderful butter and bread while reacquainting myself with my heritage (as well as visiting a slew of medieval castles and classic family rock formations). More drum news soon

Urlaub

Pumped to be back in Frankfurt after almost 4 years. In Europe for a few weeks, traveling through Germany, France, Belgium and France again. More news soon...

Easter Pizza

Celebrating the arrival of (somewhat) warmer weather in Ithaca with some pizzas. A nice respite before my Cornell Steel Band and Ewe Dance-Drumming ensembles' show tomorrow (4/25).
