New Blue Balkan Ensemble, featuring Eric Golub - violin, Tommy Kesecker - marimba, Vince Delgado - dumbek, Buca Necak -bass, & Akira Tana - drums. Since the original recording, the New Blue Balkan Ensemble's format has become even more adventurous featuring modern arrangements of ethnojazz and a free musical style.

Rhythmically, Akira and Vince create stimulating & creative rhythm patterns.

Dexter's Mode Hard Bop Quintet is a trumpet-tenor frontline ensemble saluting the music of Dexter Gordon, with whom I had the great pleasure of working in Denmark and Austria. The hard bop quintet performs originals of Dexter, Sonny Clark, and Woody Shaw which Dexter recorded with Woody. This ensemble recorded live at Yoshi's featuring tenor saxophonist Noel Jewkes and swinging drummer Matt Guggemos.

The Young At Heart Ensemble, featuring Noel Jewkes, Josh Workman, & Harold Jones. The group features authentic straight ahead swinging bebop saluting Lester Young, Charlie Parker, and Count Basie. Newly added modern material includes the music of John Coltrane, James Moody and Afro-Cuban bebop.
