West Coast tour with Sebastian Schunke Quintet October 2010

It's been two years since my great friend Sebastian and I last got together. We've known one another since 2001 when we first met in New York. Since then our friendship has deepened and our music grown. Sebastian lives in Berlin and is an award-winning pianist immersed in classical, latin and jazz music who writes music that is both challening, intimate, expressive and honest. Following a few European tours over the years, during the summer of '08 we met in San Francisco to get together to play new music by him with a quintet. Those compositions were recorded and released on the album "Back in New York" featuring Paquito D'Rivera on clarinet. Previously I've also had the pleasure of touring with Sebastian in Germany and appearing on the "Mouvement" album which graciously included one of my tunes as well. And now on October 22nd in Portland,OR and October 26th in Oakland,CA we will get another chance! Go to http://www.sebastianschunke.com/ to find out more.
