Hello friends,
Next Thursday, June 26, 6:30 at the band shell in Peskeomskut Park (main street) Turners Falls MA, I will be presenting a sextet concert of my music. The band is a different iteration of Green Mountain Mambo and I’ll have some fabulous players with me.
John Clark, french horn, has played with a vast array of musicians: Gil Evans, Carla Bley, McCoy Tyner, Paquito d’Rivera, The Fuggies, and countless others.
Wes Brown, bass, has toured the world with many groups, including the legendary pianist Earl ‘Fatha’ Hines, Anthony Davis, Bill Barron, Ed Blackwell, Talking Drums, Anthony Braxton, and the Black Rebels reggae ensemble
Julian Gerstin, congas and percussion, is immersed in the folk traditions of Ghana, Cuba, Martinique, Brazil and other African/Diasporic countries, as well popular styles of Nigeria, South Africa, Martinique, Cuba, Brazil, Trinidad, Jamaica, Mexico and others. . He has toured and recorded with numerous world music acts including Baba Ken Okulolo and Zulu Spear.
Gary Fieldman, drums, has worked extensively in NYC and Boston works with the Tall Tale Trio and was a co-founder of Know Orchestra.
Brian Bender, trombone, has toured the world playing Klezmer, Reggae and Latin Jazz bands. He is a stalwart of the Pioneer Valley music community.
I’ve been around for awhile and had had the pleasure to get to play music with wonderful array of musicians in many different places.
Please come down to Turners Falls next Thursday and join us for an evening of sparkling music.
