What’s heavier, a pound of brass instruments or a pound of woodwinds? Okay okay, stupid question. I was thinking about heavy brass though because I wanted to tell you about the next featured guest at the Nashville Jazz Workshop Jam Session. This coming Sunday August 15th, we’ll be featuring trumpeter Matt White at the jam. Matt holds a DMA in jazz from U Miami, teaches at Belmont University, and completely shreds changes. I’ve gotten to hear a lot of him with the Nashville Jazz Orchestra (including tonight, if you feel like coming down to the French Quarter Cafe) and in Cobb’s Mob, and I’m sure you’re going to dig what he plays and what he shares this weekend. So come on out!
Sunday, August 15th 4pm to 6pm at the NJW. FREE!
Friends,
It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally gotten around to updating my website with some pertinent information about the musical universe in Tennessee. If you have a moment, take a look at a very updated LINKS page. I’ve also created an TEACHING page to reflect all of the work I’ve been doing in music education.
Also notice that the CALENDAR has a number of new shows out in Perry County. I’ve been participating in a wonderful summer concert series out there organized by Hugh Waddell. The series has and continues to feature a slew of wonderful diverse artists from all over the musical map.
Don’t forget to put the next Nashville Jazz Workshop Jam Session on your calendar – Sunday August 15th. Featured guest to be announced soon!

Well after a month away from Nashville for some much needed R & R, Nashville Jazz Workshop Jam Session ready. This month our featured guest will be the very talented vocalist Christina Watson. She’s one of my favorite singers and also teaches classes at the Jazz Workshop, including one starting in August titled “Introduction to Vocal Literature.” I’m looking forward to learning from her and playing with a hip rhythm section, I hope you are too!
