I'm going to be playing a couple of times at the Rochester International Jazz Festival this year. . .
Wednesday the 17th at 6 PM, I'll be playing with Dave Rivello Ensemble at the "Big Tent". It's a twelve piece modern jazz group. The previous tubists in this group are John Elliott of the Honolulu Symphony and Dennis Nulty of the Detroit Symphony, so I've got some big shoes to fill. . .

On Friday the 19th at 7:15 PM and again at 9:15 PM I'll be holding down the bottom of the Po' Boys Brass Band on sousaphone on the Gibbs St. Free Stage.

If you're going to be anywhere near the area, it's a great festival. Check out all the shows you can!
