John Kamman just got here today and we are playing lots of music in betweeen sightseeing
in preparation for next Wednesday night's big gig at the Basement. I'm so pleased the album
has received some exposure. Read the review in Jazz and Beyond. And see you next Wednesday night!

Can't believe how fun our last gig was. Hard to believe it was over in a couple of hours and can't wait
to play there again. Next up I have a couple of engagements in August and a big night
at the Basement in September. John Kamman, awesome guitarist from USA, and
great friend is coming down under to join us for some a series of gigs in the Sydney area.

I just got back from one hell of a week at Jazz Camp West
in the woods in California. We had an extraordinary experience singing and playing music for 8 days with 300
other jazz lovers. The highlight was studying with
Sheila Jordan, a magnificent
jazz musician and a real inspiration. Next week, I'll be back at Bar Me with a new trio! Nick
Southcott on piano, Steve Ley on drums and Merv Sequoira on bass. These guys are young
and totally awesome musicians. It will be a treat!

Hitoshi Kawai will be appearing in duo with me at the Vanguard next week. I have been working hard
to keep Hitoshi, the most talented blues guitarist ever, to stay in Sydney a wee bit longer. We've been working
on a lot of blues roots and country stuff which have been particularly inspiring for me lately and Hitoshi
plays that stuff like he invented it. And of course, the
guitar voice duo really is my favorite and most comfortable format to work in. All this began when
I first saw Tuck and Patti (they are my heros)
perform in Washington many years ago and that made me realize just how powerful voice and guitar could
be when the two are completely in sync.

There are so many things happening! I'm working on an all new repertoire, melding
jazz standards with country and blues with a touch of German caberet. But more on that later.
I will be at
The Vanguard
supporting King Curly's album launch on Friday June 2nd. King Curly's
music is excellent and I'm absolutely thrilled about playing at The Vanguard.

Last week we had a
full house at Bar Me both Thursday and Saturday nights, and
moreover, we had to turn away lots of people at the door because we were completely
booked out. Thanks to all the sweet and lovely people who came to support live jazz.
And we will be doing more shows in Sydney, maybe even slip in one more before
Hitoshi leaves us beginning of June.

Our next gigs at Bar Me are next week!! I am very sad that Hitoshi Kawai,
our very talented guitarist, has decided to go back to Japan in a couple
of months. Just when we have started to do very creative musical
things together. Dont miss one of the last major gigs for Hitoshi
in Sydney next week at
Bar
Me, Otherwise, you'll be catching him in the jazz clubs
of Tokyo.

Rehearsals are in the works for the next set of shows at Bar Me! Together
with the Halls Kawai band, we are presenting
two evenings of brand new interpretations of jazz, blues and country.
Book
early, we are expecting a full house!

After a month traveling in South East Asia, it was great to come back to a
fabulous gig full of the best musicians in Sydney at Steve Morrison's album launch.
The Basement is a first class venue to perform in and the audience was awesome.
See a few photos here.

I am honoured to be performing at
Steve Morrison's album launch at the Basement on
Wednesday, March 8. It promises to be a night jam packed with the best musos in town. Can't wait.

We had an incredible night at Bar Me last night. It was a completely
full house with a really long waiting list to get in. I was blown away seeing
all my friends and their friends from the stage. The
Halls Kawai band was fantastic, and Hitoshi Kawai's solos were spectacular.
I think everyone enjoyed also the atmosphere and food at Bar Me.
Stay tuned for the photos as well as sound bytes of the evening and
dates for future gigs.

Preparations are underway for a great night at
Bar Me
in Kings Cross, Sydney. This will
be my first major show in Sydney after
returning to Australia October 2005. I've had
the best fun rehearsing with the
Halls Kawai band whose members I met only
recently.
For the evening, we will be playing a selection of songs
from my CD
Liking You Liking Me
as
well as a really cool set of lesser known jazz /
blues / bossanova standards.
Even though there's still a few days before the gig,
we are almost
80% booked out. Very exciting as I know all my
friends are dragging all of their friends along too.
It promises to be just a super fun night.
