The first review of the new CD

April 2, 2009

The first review of my new CD, I Think I’ll Keep You, was written by Stuart Broomer and appears in the April issue of AllAboutJazz-New York and on the web at http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=32141

It’s so funny having a CD on a label that takes care of everything for you! Being the control freak that I am, I keep asking them, “what should I be doing?” and they, in the nicest way possible, tell me that they’ll take care of it and that I don’t have to worry about it. And  yet still I fidget, start feeling guilty/lazy/disorganized, like I’m supposed to be doing something (as if I didn’t have enough to do already!) but then Andrey reminds me to chill out and let them do what they say they’re going to do. And I remember that for about a week before I start getting antsy again. Something I need to work on, I guess…

Things continue to be busy. I have a gig at the Rhythm in the Kitchen music festival tonight, preceded by a panel discussion about the lives of musicians during “transitional times” such as these. Should be interesting! I’m looking forward to it.
