Dynamic Duos Episode 29 ft. Jordan Pettay!
Today I’m featuring the wonderful Alto Saxophonist Jordan Pettay! Jordan and I were classmates at Juilliard, and she’s played on a few of my gigs here and there over the years. When we got together to record this duet, I remembered that I first learned this tune to perform at a Juilliard Jazz camp we taught at together out in Ephraim, UT at Snow College!
One of the best things about Touring...
One of the best things about having to tour the country this month, is getting to reconnect with many people who I've met in other situations, and bringing them all together. Nothing is more special to me than getting to meet up with previous mentors, and ESPECIALLY to be able to connect with mentors musically!

How do I play swing eighth notes?
Should I? Do I want to?
I’ve been thinking about this question a lot lately. “Should I?” where “this" could be anything: playing a gig, writing music, creating anything in general, running a business, going to s concert, meeting up with friends, making new friends, etc.
If I Love Again Jazz Duet Ft. Leon Boykins!
Here is a favorite standard, performed by Leon Boykins and myself! One of the most popular versions of the tune is probably from Clifford Brown / Max Roach (check out that version of the tune here…) but I think that MY favorite version might be by the legendary Steve Davis!
