New WISTFUL THINKING Performances, Playlists, & Podcasts!

There’s LOTS going on with Wistful Thinking before we close out the end of 2021!

To celebrate the release of the new holiday single “Lo, How A Rose,” I’m looking forward to performing at Marian’s Brooklyn on Wednesday 12/15 with an exciting NYC incarnation of Wistful Thinking that features the talents of Chris Hemingway (alto saxophone), Pete McCann (guitar), and Matt Pavolka (bass). See the poster below for more info:


It’s also exciting to that see the new Outside In Music single “Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming” has been landing on some Spotify Playlists! You can check them all out here below! Thanks to everyone who has been checking it out!

Last but certainly not least, I had the pleasure of talking with the amazing trumpeter and composer Bobby Spellman on his podcast JazzTopia! We talked about the recent Wistful Thinking releases, what’s next for the band, as well as some of my thoughts and observations on writing for different small and large ensembles. Bobby asked some fantastic questions and it’s one of my favorite interviews that I’ve been a part of! You can check out the full length-video here, and make sure to check out some of his other fascinating episodes!

More about Bobby’s podcast and his projects the Revenge of The Cool Nonet and Digonek Street band can be found here at his website! Thanks for having me Bobby!
