“Oblivion” by Astor Piazzolla, performed at the Prescott Jazz Summit 2026.

Big thanks to Mike Vax for inviting me to be part of the festival. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to play with so many incredible musicians and to share the stage with such great players.

Also, a special thank you to my trumpet teacher, Mickle, for all the guidance and encouragement along the way.

It was a really special experience, and I’m thankful to everyone who made it happen. Hope you enjoy!

Excerpts from "Stevie's Wonders”

This performance was from the Prescott Jazz Summit on 8/29/26. Much gratitude to jazz trumpet legend Mike Vax for inviting me to be a guest artist at this wonderful festival, which he has organized for the past 25 years.

I’d also like to express my thanks to my trumpet mentor, Michael Miller, who arranged and conducted this piece, and put so much time and care into its preparation. 🎺

To see a future live performance of me playing this, come to the @klaipedajazz festival in Lithuania on June 25, 2027!

So grateful to Tower of Power for letting me sit in with them! This concert took place on July 19, 2026 in Sacramento, CA, and these excerpts are from “Knock Yourself Out“, “You’re Still a Young Man” and “What Is Hip“!

Huge thanks to: Emilio Castillo, Doc Kupka, Jordan John, Tom Politzer, Dave Richards, Adolfo Acosta, Jerry Cortez, Marc “VW” van Wageningen, Pete Antunes and Mike Jerel.

Everyone was so kind and fun, it made for a memorable and truly once in a lifetime experience. This band is made up of world class musicians, and in my opinion, is one of the greatest band that still exists today.

And much gratitude to my trumpet mentor @sirmickle for setting up this opportunity with Tower of Power and putting this video together.
