So ... I decided to build a turntable stand this week. I had brushed off my woodworking skills a couple of years ago to build my studio desk, and was feeling like it was time for another project so I designed this out of walnut and zebrawood. As it's still raw wood I've got a few days of finishing ahead of me, but it's always a relief to take the clamps off and still have right angles, LOL. Fun project! #woodworking #jazz #vinyl

Fundraiser for Drum Legend Victor Lewis. I've played with Victor probably hundreds of times with Charles Tolliver's band, and of course he's on all my favorite Woody Shaw recordings. Please help out if you can. https://www.gofundme.com/f/uh2mx7-victor-lewis

Great rehearsal with Art Baron today for our gig in Long Branch, NJ on Sunday. It's always cool to realize the book you are playing was originally written for and played by an Ellingtonian! (of course Art is as well) #jazz #ellington

Very productive trip to Princeton Record Exchange today!
