One of the kindest and most talented musicians I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and a dear friend, made his transition yesterday. Rest in peace, Ken Peplowski.

So grateful to my longtime friend Michael Sulcer for coming out to see me at Dizzy’s Club this past weekend with the Aaron Goldberg trio featuring Shenel Johns. Over 40 years of friendship - hard to believe how far we’ve come since our LA High School Drumline days!

Excited to have started at SUNY Purchase as an adjunct Professor! It’s been an inspiring first week working with such talented students and collaborating with the faculty.
