Bill Gagliardi 5tet backstage at CiMPfest - Austria (from left: KW, Lou Grassi, Dave Hofstra, John Carlson, Bill Gagliardi)
Up at Maine Jazz Camp, w/ John O'Gallagher, Curtis Fowlkes, Russ Johnson and Matt Pavolka. Great hang, musically, pedagogically and otherwise.
Thats Don Williams (drums - center) and Radam Schwartz (organ) and me at the Crossroads in NJ. Very Swinging organization. Don and I were on the road w/ Arthur Prysock in the '80s. (Good times.)
Badal Roy, James Singleton (bass), me, and Tim Green (sax) @ Snug Harbor in New Orleans... what a soulful club!
Crescent City's Tim Green playing the ConoSax (sp?), a rare instrument somewhere between alto and tenor (notice the bell at the end)... Tim's a deep cat in many ways and a beautiful player.
Thats Jason and me at Snug Harbor in NoLa (he runs the club, a tireless supporter of the music).
W/ Badal Roy and Evan Christopher (wonderful clarinet player) down in New Orleans
Karl Berger Septet - "In the Spirit of Don Cherry" @ Ars Nova, Philly w/ (left to right) Karl Berger, Ingrid Sertso, Mark Helias, Dave Ballou, Tani Tabbal, Peter Apfelbaum, KW (photo by Ken Weiss)

Cookbook back in the day - l-r: Michael Dolan (flute), KW (gtr), Clint DeGanon (drums), Jim Brogan (bass), Rob Waring (vibes). Check out the cool Cookbook t'shirts (collector's items). Mike left a box in Canon's bar years ago, they might turn up on ebay.
