This Week’s Shows 11.17.18 A long Overdue Update

posted by

I’m back in Ohio and it’s long past time for an update! Big changes are all around this fall. I’ve left the cruise world behind…it was a good run (8+ years) and now it’s time to move on. I’m now in grad school at Ohio University, living in Athens, Ohio. I’m loving being back in […]

Introducing EDDA

posted by

There’s a massive cold front rolling in and I’ve listened to Björk’s ‘Utopia’ twice through so it feels like as good a time as any to announce my new saxo/flute/DJ venture. It’s called EDDA and the concept is basically me improvising on saxophone and flute over a variety of deep-house, down-tempo, chill-out, and dub music. […]

Altissimo, Jungle Flute, and Deep-House Music. Summer in the Mediterranean.

Summer has finished here in the Mediterranean. It’s cooler now and I’m writing this long overdue update from a rainy Sicily. It’s been an interesting summer.

Many moons ago, as I was struggling through some Mendelssohn clarinet excerpts, I was given some sage advice in the form of a question. She said to me, “you know you can play the clarinet however you want, right?” I’ve thought about that a lot since that day. What she meant wasn’t that I could […]

Saxophone Palm Key Risers [how to make good ones]

posted by

Saxophones have traditionally been designed for people with little girl hands. Most saxophonists that I know find that their left hand palm keys do not come up as high as they would like and eventually find some way to compensate for them. While annoying, this is done for good reason. If all saxophones were made […]
