(from a Shenole Latimer concert…)

Well quite a bit has happened in the last few months. Played my last few shows on Long Island as a member of Shenole’s quartet…including a pretty sweet festival gig warming up for Joe Lovano in Huntington. Said my goodbyes, packed my aptmnt up and headed down to Palm Coast, FL where I just bought a house. My drive down was interrupted briefly by a failed fuel pump in Georgia. Could have been a disaster, but thanks to God, Garmin and a very cool mechanic in Richmond Hills named Greg – I was back on the road in 4 hours; in spite of some crazy weather in GA.

I’m pretty settled in now as is my dad – who moved in with me. I’ve spent the last 2 months hangin’ with him, or at Flagler Beach, on FB, or compulsively monitoring the continuing success of the latest cd “There You Are”. Mixed in between all that I’ve been thinking through the next trio release, including composing a few numbers; delving headlong into recording the next Seven Octaves cd and also composing/scoring music for a student’s upcoming superhero movie.

It’s definitely a welcome change of pace – working less and being more productive musically; one I have gotten used to quickly. Trying to locate some good jazz musicians that are somewhat local in Flagler or St. Augustine – if that’s you make sure to give me a holler!

Finally a very hearty thank you to the directors and djs who continue to play our music all over the country, and to anyone out there listening. A very special thanks to WPTC in Williamsport PA who have given the cd it’s first #1 position this past week, and for keeping it in their top 10 since May. Tremendous!

Thanks for stopping by! Peace – Kenny
