here is another, very nice, review, from skope.

and, as a reminder … here is where you can click to download the album

1) Not everything is available on the internet: Larry Cosentino wrote a very nice review of “Bebop Trio” in his column in Signal to Noise. You must find a hard copy of the magazine.

2) Cuddle Magic plays two shows this coming week. On Friday, July 1 at the Oak & Ax in Biddeford, ME, sharing a bill with the Deadly Gentleman (led by the deadliest of banjo players, Dr. Gregory Liszt), the Patter Cubs, and Greg Jamie (of O’Death relative-fame.) On Saturday, July 2, we return to Club Passim, with an opening set by the Capitalist Youth.

3) Then, on July 4th, I fly off and join The David Wax Museum on a tour of Canadian festivals and the American North. The “American North” may not be a recognized region warranting capitalization. But it should be. Consider this a coinage.

there is such thing as bad publicity, especially when it is good publicity.

thanks to Mark Corroto and Tom Hull for listening to The Bebop Trio and writing nice reviews in AllAboutJazz and Jazz Prospecting, respectively.

I’m about to throw three parties:

Ronald Reagan – Boston’s Premier 80′s Pop Saxophone Duo celebrates the release of a debut cd with a party at Toad in Cambridge, MA on Sunday, May 8.

And there will be two concerts to mark the release of “The Bebop Trio”. First we’re playing at the Lily Pad, in Cambridge, on Thursday, May 19. The next night, May 20, we play Ibeam in Brooklyn, NY.

We’ll be joined by Jim Hobbs and Laurence Cook in Cambridge, and Carmen Staaf with her trio in Brooklyn. And I’ll be turning 30 (years old!) on the 20th.

Here is my shining moment in the world of Malayali sitcoms. Check the end credits (around minute eight) for some rollicking clarinet & saxophone.

… the music blog based in Somerville’s Union Square, outside of Boston, recently posted a few wonderful videos of Cuddle Magic performing songs that will be on our upcoming record. And yes, it will really be a record.

And come to Cornelia St. Cafe this Wednesday, April 13 to hear us live and in person.

The Bebop Trio played a live set on WHRB on Feb. 4. If you missed that live broadcast, you can now stream the entire show here.

You can hear the same trio live and in person, as we present a free public workshop on Sunday, April 10, 3:30pm, at the Lily Pad in Inman Square, Cambridge, MA, sponsored by the D.R. Finch Music Foundation.

Boston’s Premiere 80s Pop Saxophone Duo has been hard at work in the studio. We’ll be in Philadelphia and NYC this coming week, with copies of the new album.

my album with Lefteris Kordis and Thor Thorvaldsson is now available for download at the itunes store.

though itunes allows you to download individual tracks … we highly recommend listening to the album straight through, if you have the time.

Lefteris Kordis, Austin McMahon, and I will be performing music from “The Bebop Trio” live on the radio this Friday, Feb. 4, at 11:30 am

Tune your Boston area radio to 95.3 FM, or stream it via the WHRB website.
