Missing in Action...

in the booth at WFCF Saint Augustine

For the few of you who stop by here - I do apologize for not keeping things lively. And for those of you wondering what's going on with the band - I'm taking a little break. We had a nice run at Jazzland in Jacksonville, but John wasn't up for the drive anymore (he turned 80 in June) and I wasn't up for working in a new bass player just now. We capped off the summer with a packed house at the New Smyrna Library, and then one more Jazzland show.

In the meantime - I'm fully engaged in promoting the music of other Florida musicians with Palm Coast Jazz - which continues to do well; and I'm now a jazz jock at WFCF in Saint Augustine - a truly hip college station with 20 hours of jazz a week and no automation. It's a lifelong dream come true - and basically taking my love for sharing good music to another level. You can listen online Tuesdays 3-5pm (Eastern) via Iheart, and I'm actively blogging & tweeting in that context.

I haven't abandoned the piano playing thing lol, just taking it easy (very easy!). A new album has been in my mind for a while now - it will come to fruition I believe, but it may be a little while before it happens. A few collabs are on the back burner as well!

I encourage anyone who truly likes the music I put out to have a listen to the Palm Coast Jazz podcast. There is some fine, tasteful & even progressive music being made down here by some serious cats and kittens. Thanks for stopping by! - Kenny

Good Manners Live with Shenole Latimer

We had a reunion of sorts with Shenole Latimer this past Saturday at the New Smyrna Beach Library - part of his Southeast tour. Great to see him and play again, especially on his new compositions. It's been 2+ years since we played last, but it felt like there was no gap at all! Thanks to Gloria Mariash for the video! - KM
