Dear Friends

Happy Thanksgiving and wishing everyone a peaceful holiday season. I'm grateful for a year of sharing music around the world and meeting many of you in person. I'm also grateful for the incredible support of the US radio DJs keeping All In Good Time in the Top 50 of the Jazz Week Charts continuously since the July 15 release, thank you!

For this year's holiday shopping, consider buying local with personalized gifts. The ACME Shop has lots of special options, just indicate autograph details when ordering. Europe postage will be waived for any orders before December 9.

I'll be back in Indiana by December 11, concert dates are in the calendar - also happy to entertain for your holiday events, just send me a note.

Who will be at Jazz Congress in New York or JEN in Atlanta? Let's meet and hang, let me know!
