So wonderful to see my friend Daniel Levitin on Th So wonderful to see my friend Daniel Levitin on Thursday at the Royal Society of Canada. I bought his new book “Successful Aging”, which I can’t wait to read! Dan is such an inspiring writer, thinker, musician, songwriter, producer, neuroscientist... In addition to mixing half the songs on my third album, Songs of Sweet Fire, he taught me so much about mixing and music production. I feel blessed to have had a mentor like him. @daniellevitinofficial #successfulaging #book

A few nights ago I went to see Markus Ehrlich’s A few nights ago I went to see Markus Ehrlich’s quintet at the Zig Zag jazz club in Berlin. They played some Horace Silver (Nica’s Dream, Sister Sadie) and lots of other Blue Note stuff. Also some really nice originals by Ehrlich and trumpet player Florian Menzel. The whole group was first rate. The best surprise of the evening: due to zoning rules, bands must play unamplified on a Sunday night. So they played fully acoustically, bass included. It was absolutely wonderful. Each instrument was balanced and clear and no PA to surge or glitch. Awesome! 🎶😀 @ehrlichmarkus @menzelflorian1988 @zigzagjazzclub #berlin #livejazz #supportlivemusic
