Summer update - west coast and europe

7/25/2018

Hi everyone! Hope the summer is going well. I just returned from a three week tour of Europe with Astrid Kuljanic's Transatlantic Exploration Company, where we traveled across Croatia, Italy, Serbia and Slovenia. Before that, in June, I was with my trio on a extensive West Coast tour that began in the islands of Northern Washington and took us all the way down to Los Angeles. It's been a crazy summer full of magical experiences, and I wanted to share some pictures from the past two months of touring now that I am back in New York City for a few weeks. For those of you in New York City, I have some exciting shows coming up, including an appearance with my trio at the Kitano on August 8th. Hope to see you there!

A huge shoutout to all of the incredible photographers who sent me their photos throughout our trips: Francesco Moretti (first, seventh and last), Mike Stempe (second and third), Silvio Selman (fourth and fifth) and everyone else!

I just can't help myself from feeling lucky because I am one of the people who's actually able to see what you did on your tour. I don't mean that I exactly knew all of the things that you did there but being able to see these pictures and you smile are enough for me to tell that you are satisfied and happy with the result. I hope you will do the same thing if you will have your other tours after this. I am praying for your success and all. I know you are enjoying what you are doing and our support will always be yours until the end. I am a big fan of your works!
