Jazz is popping up all over Hampton Roads. I am playing 2 Fridays a month at Cafe Stella in Norfolk, 2 Thursdays a month at Toast in Norfolk, one Sunday a month at Cochon on 2nd Street in Williamsburg, and Jimmy G's Chophouse & Bar in Va Beach does a special jazz night 2 Mondays a month that feature pianist John Toomey and me.

There is the Attucks Jazz Series, the TowneBank Jazz Series in the Miller Studio Theater at the Sandler Center in Va Beach and now a new, very successful series hosted by pianist Justin Kauflin at the Governor's Magnet School in Norfolk on Granby Street, and also a new effort to present jazz at the Wells Theater in a private listening room.

It is an exciting time for those in the community who both play and listen to jazz.

There is also Jazz Every weekend at Luce Secondo in Chesapeake as well as an on-going Jazz Jam Session every Tuesday night 7:30-10:30 at The Roads Bistro. There is also jazz being featured on other nights at The Roads Bistro.

There are four songs from my CD loaded on

the player. You can advance any song by

clicking onthe wave graph above or click

at the end to get to the next tune.

These wonderful photographs were taken by the following photographers, who were all kind enough to permit

me to post them here:​ Eddie Williams, John Toomey, Drew Landman, Mark Robbins, Thomas Fusaro and David Beloff.
