Scott’s contemporary jazz/fusion band. Originals as well as tunes by Pat Metheny, The Yellowjackets, Weather Report, Steely Dan and Chick Corea.

I performed both as a musician (guitar, vocals and banjo) and as an actor, including a memorable John the Baptist, in the play “Cotton Patch Gospel”, put on by one of the Twin Cities oldest theater companies, The Old Log Theater.

George has been playing great since the 60’s. Although now a certified superstar you owe it to yourself to check out his early work. This Cat Can Blow!!

One of the greatest bands to get consistant radio air play. People are STILL trying to catch up with what they were doing years ago. Aja and Gaucho are masterpieces.

Al’s rock meets jazz forays with Return To Forever set the stage for my departure from straight ahead rock almost 30 years ago. (Hmmm, I don’t know if I should be mad or grateful)

An Incredible Guitarist with a Unique Instrumental Voice. How can someone THAT good be so humble?

A favorite of mine. One of jazz guitar’s strongest voices.

One of my favorite guitar players. He put together the band that became The Yellowjackets. His work with Tom Scott and the LA Express was my first listen…

Another favorite of mine.

Not only is Tuck a fabulous guitarist and Patti a wonderful singer they are 2 of the nicest people you would ever meet.

One of the first sax players to start reaching larger audiences with a jazz/funk/fusion style. He played with both Tower Of Power and The Yellowjackets before his solo career started taking off.

Having a famous father (Sammy Cahn) “might” have helped, but Steve has put in the work (including Wes Montgomery and Pat Martino transcription books) to make him one of the great ones.

Aaron Neville’s site. I reviewed a couple Neville Brother’s shows long before I played with him for a live TV broadcast at The Ted Mann Concert Hall in Minneapolis.

Pat Is one of today’s best guitarist/composers. An Incredible Body of Work while never straying from his artistic vision. An Inspiration…

A favorite of mine. Like Miles Davis, he has a great ear for new talent above and beyond his incredible chops and compositional skills.

Weather Report was one of the biggest influences on MANY players/composers, myself included. Here is keyboardist/bandleader Joe Zawinul’s site.

If you are interested in getting out and doing some singing, as well as gaining some valuable experience working with a piano player, I highly recommend checking Jon out at a local piano bar. He knows LOTS of tunes (in any key!) and is easy to work with… Check out his website for current locations.

Local Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St Paul) jazz information.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jonathan on several projects and it is always a pleasure. Here is a link to his site.

A show that is sure to please the kid in everyone of us…
