Had the unbelievable opportunity to experience Hadestown from both the audience and the stage this weekend!
Yesterday’s matinee performance was absolutely unbelievable. Beautiful. Emotional. Just, incredible.
We got home from the show, and while I was getting a little trombone time in, my phone rang. By total happenstance it was the creative team from Hadestown, needing a last-minute sub for the evening performance. I got in the car and headed right back to the KC Music Hall, got backstage, met the team, then had about 30 minutes to look through the book before curtain. We did the show and it went great! Everyone was abundantly kind and it was just an unbelievable experience. I returned for one more show this afternoon, and once again, it was a powerful, moving, and wonderful experience that will stick with me forever. Just, wow!
To the band, cast, crew, and creative team of the North American tour of Hadestown, thank you for letting me be a part of your family for a couple days. I raise my cup to you!
This past August, a group of us recorded our parts from our home studios for this tremendous big band project - I had the privilege of playing lead trombone! With musicians from across the country, this was quite an undertaking; only the bass and drums were tracked together in Southern California. However, listening to this wonderful recording, you’d never know! You’d think we were all in the same studio, playing as one!
Featuring compositions and arrangements by Arthur White and the legendary Randy Brecker, this is definitely an album worth checking out. The charts are wonderful, the band sounds amazing, and the soloists are terrific across the board.

This is also the second big band project I’ve been able to be a part of with Randy Brecker. When I was at DePaul, we recorded Dearborn Station - Live at the Jazz Showcase. If you haven’t checked that out, it’s also worth a listen.

Grateful for the opportunity to meet and make music with so many wonderful people!
