March 2012

The Ken Cook Trio (Ken Cook, Doug Miller & Alex Aspinall) took a trip up to Truckee/Lake Tahoe this March, to teach and perform for middle school and high school student musicians.

We had a great time working with the musicians and teachers up there. Hope to make it up that way again soon to do some more playing. Maybe during summer when four wheel drive is not necessary.

 

 

April 2012

I am excited to be a part of the new Erik Lindquist Band that is just getting off the ground. The core group is a trio with Erik, bass player Andrew Emer, and myself on drums. We all went through the Sonoma State jazz program back when Mel Graves was directing. Andrew and Erik attended some years before me, but it still feels special to me play with these guys who also came out of the unique program that Mel Graves created there.
