Hello Friends,
We had a wonderfully successful run at the Capri Theater this weekend with " A Copasetic Christmas Carol"
and I am very happy to say that a holiday tradition has begun!
Thank you so much to those of you who attended and please pass the word
so next year will bring many more friends to this fabulous venue.
I must thank my dear friend Dennis Spears, Anne Long, Karl Reichert, Carl Griffin,
the board members of Plymouth Christian Youth Center, staff and volunteers of the
Capri Theater for believing in the project and giving us their full support and the opportunity to present
"A Copasetic Christmas Carol".
I thank my collaborator Doug Haining (Composer / Band leader, Alto & Soprano Sax player of the Twin Cities Seven) whose talents gave us the music and the band.
The Band
Steve Wright / Trumpet & Flugelhorn
Scott Agster / Trombone
Tanner Taylor / Piano
Steve Blons / Guitar
Steve Pikal / Bass
Dick Bortolussi / Drums
And last but not least.....
Craig Eichhorn / The Narrator
I am a believer in all efforts to uplift our communities and am grateful to be involved
in the ground breaking success of The Capri Theater!
In June 2008, I will be back at the Capri for the return of the Legends production of
"A Tribute to Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan"
Please go to www.capritheater.org to find out about more the theater and upcoming events!
Hope to see you sometime, somewhere and soon....

Wow! What a tour!
Hello Friend,
I had every intention of doing daily captions this last tour to Spain but I had no time! The majority of time was spent in beautiful Santander with several concerts in the surrounding area.
I had the pleasure of being reunited with my regular band - Gerard Nieto on piano, Ignasi Gonzalez on bass, Esteve Pi on drums and Toni Solá on sax. On the first concert in Teruel, American born guitarist (now living in Barcelona) Dave Mitchell accompanied us. Wow, what a great player! I guess he would have to be to play with the late great Jack McDuff!
My last day there I had two recording sessions, one with pianist Ignasi Terraza and the other with guitarist Peter Bernstein. They are stellar musicians! Check out their websites.

Buenas Dias, Bonjour, Hallo!
Dear Friends,
I'm back from my work/vacation and what a wonderful time it was!
In the Canary Islands we played the festival then partied with afterward till the wee hours of the morning. Ran for trains, drank champagne (in Champagne) and sat in with the band at the La Huchette Jazz Club in Paris. And in Iceland soaked in the Blue Lagoon, rented a car and drove 323 kilometers (each way!) to the glacier Vatnajokull and tried cod liver oil. Why you ask? I'm still asking myself that!
Hope to see you sometime, somewhere and soon........
