Dear Friends,
Special thanks to those who braved the heat to come hear me play in July. From the swinging big-band sound of the Manhattan Jazz Orchestra to the exciting classical-jazz fusion of Asuka Matsumoto, music has helped me to keep my cool. But August promises to be even hotter, so please come join me at Praca Onze for the debut show of "Mambo Inn", an exciting new Latin-jazz unit, or another performance, this month ranging from big-band to bossa nova.
Speaking of the heat, do you notice that summers are getting hotter year by year? Worried about the climatic, economic and security implications of burning fossil fuels? If so, please check out this very important talk by former US vice president and Nobel laureate Al Gore. And pray with me that we can work together to reverse the course of global warming.
I will be in New York City this September; if you're nearby, please come say hello at Redeemer Presbyterian Church's jazz worship services.
yours, Steve
The LORD is my shepherd. He gives me everything I need. He lets me lie down in fields of green grass. He leads me beside quiet waters. He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths for the honor of his name. (Ps. 23:1-3)
