Scuttlebutt - Sept 26

September 26, 2025

I had a great week in Atlanta, playing and working with students of all ages. What an honor to work beside legendary educators like Joli Wu at Westminster Schools, David Eccles at The Lovett School, and Krissi Davis at Midtown High School. I also spent several days working with Serena Scibelli, Tania Maxwell and Martin Norgaard at Georgia State University, including performing with the GSU Symphony Orchestra led by Henry Cheng and participating in their annual String Day.

Big thanks to Martin Norgaard for making this week possible!

St. Louis peeps! Tomorrow night, 9/27, it's time once again for the Clayton Jazz Festival. I'll be playing with St. Louis jazz royalty Bach to the Future. No spoilers but the guest artists for the St. Louis Jazz All-Stars set may just blow your mind. Be there or be rectangular.

Look who I ran into in the United Club at Washington DC Dulles Airport. It's Virginia senator Tim Kaine! Turns out he co-wrote a song with fellow Nashvillian, banjoist Alison Brown! We're besties now.
