On Tuesday 19 February 2008, in lovely Moscow, Idaho, I presented a paper entitled UNCOVERING THE STAN KENTON ARCHIVES, as part of the JAZZ HISTORY
AND CULTURE CONFERENCE at the University of Idaho.

On 22 March 2008 my most recent composition was premiered at Washington and Lee University, in Lexington Virginia. THE PEREGRINATION SUITE for solo piano, performed by Alexandre Dossin (2003 Martha Argerich International Piano Competition Winner), can be heard by clicking here.

There will be a reprise of THE PEREGRINATION SUITE by Alexandre, and a performance
of VILLAGE SCENES, performed by Idit Shner (alto sax) and David Riley (my favorite pianist). This concert is on 8 April 2008 (Mary Pickford's birthday) in Eugene, Oregon.

In June of 2007 I began a year long sabbatical. I spent most of the first six months driving around the US and Canada for several months. I began 2008 at the Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris, my home away from home, where I am currently composing a concert of original music for 20-piece jazz orchestra.
