This week, I will be doing two book events on the West Coast.

The first is Thursday, December 13 in Seattle, where I’m really pleased to be joined by band member Julian Priester. On the Facebook event page (https://www.facebook.com/events/363903413698231) I wrote:

“On trombone was Seattle’s own Julian Priester, whose musical sensitivity and virtuosity was well suited to a band in which, as Priester recalls, “we had to sort of react on the spot to the changes the directions that the music took.” This night’s talk is dedicated to the creativity and humanity of this great trombonist.”

The talk is at 7pm Pacific, at Elliot Bay Book Company, 1521 10th Ave, Seattle, Washington.

The second event is in Los Angeles, Friday. So far I know that at least one band member will be coming. The talk is at Book Soup, 8818 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood, California. Info on the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/356268094462837/

Hope to see you at one of these events. Next up on the East Coast are talks in the New York Metropolitan Area (Feb. 8 at 92YTribeca, and Feb. 14 at the Chappaqua Library).
