We are very much hoping to finally pick up the postponed work on BIRD in August, with 3 weeks of rehearsals and three concert performances at the Arcata Playhouse Aug 27, 28 and 29 – depending, of course, on the state of the pandemic, vaccinations etc… Stay tuned…

And so here we are, in a brave new world….

I am in exile, in self isolation, wishing the world, and all those I love, good health and safety ahead…

The annual winter reunion at Westbeth, this year on Friday Feb.28th at 7.30pm. Who knew the Community Room had such good acoustics, and was such a fun hang? Some old music, some new music, some deep listening…

GL, alto & bari sax, bass cl., accordion, piano and vocals; Doug Wieselman, clarinets, saxes, guitar; Peter Apfelbaum, tenor sax; Steven Bernstein, trumpet, slide trumpet; Art Baron, trombone; Marcus Rojas, tuba; Kenny Wollesen, drums, percussion & Wollesonics.

Westbeth Community Room, 55 Bethune Street, in the far West Village of Manhattan.

11/11, full moon… a quartet concert in an intimate setting. Two sets, come early, come late, food and drink in between…

I am finally going to take my third and final month at Montalvo’s Lucas Artists Residency Program, having had to postpone it twice, first on account of my mother’s illness, and secondly on account of mine.  Third time’s a charm, I hope.  I am deeply grateful for their long memory… It’s perfect timing, as I will go directly from there up to Blue Lake for first rehearsals with singers on Bird Of The Inner Eye.
