Sal Mosca was one of the many great jazz musicians that studied with Lennie Tristano. When I first became interested in jazz, Larry Bluthe, a music teacher working in the same music school I was teaching in, suggested I see his teacher for lessons. And so I started my studies with Sal.

I took the train weekly up to Mount Vernon for lessons with Sal; this pilgrimage went on for 24 years and I did learn how to play jazz. When I got my first jazz gig at The Waterfront, a Brooklyn bar on Atlantic Ave, I asked Sal to recommend some people to play with. He suggested Bob Arthurs on trumpet and Joe Solomon on bass. Bob was studying with Sal at that time and Joe was studying with Lennie. That was probably in 1976.

So, yes, we go back quite a number of years. Dave Frank, who will be joining us on tenor, was also a student of Sal's.

Robert Weiss, a Los Angeles expatriot, has been playing with me in various clubs, and libraries around NYC. He has become one of my favorite drummers.

We'll be playing some of the lines of Tristano, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, and the great American standards of Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and other artists.
