The First Annual Charlotte Jazz Fest was an incredible success, both musically and with a huge turnout. The large outdoor venue was packed and Charles Whitfield and Tammy Greene with the help of their top drawer staff created a major event in a city where there has been no contemporary jazz radio for many years. And it was good to meet you Fendercaster at the CD signing! I hope to see you at the Second Annual Charlotte Jazz Fest in 2011.

I bought this the other day and am absolutely floored by it. One of the best smooth jazz discs that I've bought in a great while. Very different, too. Just excellent stuff.

Thank you Abacos, your comment and support are much appreciated. Please consider checking out my 2008 release as well "The Grace of Summer Light". Here is a link to samples -

I'm happy to let my friends at Magic Island know that "Dreaming of Trains" was pre-nominated for Two (2) Grammy Awards this year - Best Instrumental Composition & Best Instrumental Pop Album.

Crossing my fingers......

Way to go, Ken. It is excellent work. Highly deserving of the nomination.
Thanks,
Steve C.
