Hey All,
September is coming up fast. Some highlights of the September show:
Something old - Red Norvo and "September Song"
Something new - Joe Locke, from his new Love Is A Pendulum, "For Jesse Mountain"
Something blue - Behn Gillece on Ensemble Novo's CD Blue Night playing "Church Is Where You Are."
Nothing borrowed. Hey, it's not a wedding!
And Tony playing "I Loves You Porgy" from Looking East. For no reason at all, except that it's one of the best renditions of that tune I've ever heard.
Lots more
September airs on the 6th and 9th, 8:00 and 4:00pm eastern.

Revisiting an original composition that I wrote back in 2008. A copy of the lead sheet can be downloaded from my website.

At home today revisiting Keith Jarrett's beautiful composition "Memories of Tomorrow". This composition is the last track on "The Koln Concert", an important solo recording by Keith. Keith's playing on this song is inspiring.

I recorded a few tunes with my buddy Laura Klein last week. They will be part of a CD titled Thinking Out Loud. I hope to have the project finished by September.

Hello vibes workshop, I hope everyone is having a great summer!

Duo playing is one of my favorite configurations. I wanted to share with you a video from my duet project with guitarist Brad Shepik.

This particular one is a live studio footage of us recording one of the tunes from our debut cd, "Flower Starter", released this summer. CD's and digital are available over at www.beckhamshepik.com and also at CDBaby.com.

Thanks, hope you enjoy it.
