What a special night - I can’t thank the new Band Director @nick.deutsch85 enough for bringing me back as Guest Artist w/my Alma Mater @uscschools to perform w/the USCHS Honors Jazz Band for their Spring concert 🎶🎺🥹🎙️ - nice to be back in #Pantherland 🖤❤️🖤❤️!
•
•
It was a true full circle moment, to having two of my formative band teachers Mr. E and Mr. @glennwayland there, as well as both of my parents and a litany of old classmates, friend’s parents and teachers…public school music education is paramount! It is vital! It is so so needed and something impactful for kids. It was for me, that’s for sure.
•
•
•
Feeling so much love for Upper St. Clair and Pittsburgh these days - there’s a reason I rep the black & gold so hard…They give me the love back tenfold! I get a heroes welcome when I come back to my high school, @imgartists ensured a day of recognition for @alleghenycounty - what’s next? How about #FirstPitch at a @pittsburghpirates game? @cutchtwenty2 let’s make it happen bro I still have your jersey from high school 😂🖤💛⚾️.

It takes a special breed to just dive into some acapella scat improv mid-tune, but that’s why I love jamming with @marhands - a truly “Mar-velous” musician! 🎙️⭐️
•
•
It was a pleasure to have Mar in the band all across China - her voice is so pure and true, she plays great piano and guitar, composes beautiful music, plus she is as fluent in bebop scatting as she is Brazilian repertoire, then she knows every gospel track @jonthomasjazz put on in the car…a consummate musician in every way! A total badass who also happens to be a sweetheart and super easygoing on the road, rolls with the punches and a total pro. ❤️ you Mar of life!! Here’s to the next adventure 🫡.

⭐️🇨🇳 Tour Complete 🇨🇳⭐️

Some amazing memories made returning to China after 6 years - what a treat to visit other cities this time around…Shanghai is our home at @jalc_shanghai and visiting @gcjzclub in Hangzhou as well as the Taihu Jazz Festival in Beijing was marvelous. The icing on the cake was finishing up with two days in Hong Kong, swimming on #RepulseBay 🏖️ and working with our new friends at @premiereperformanceshk 🙏🏻.
•
•
•
So appreciative of the band this trip: @marhands @jonthomasjazz @calebtobocman @joeperi - the longer I’m on the road, the more I realize surrounding yourself with good vibes and folks with warm spirits is really all it’s about. It makes or breaks the trip. This crew was exemplary on & off the bandstand - love you all!

The modern day Godfather of the Jazz scene in Pittsburgh is the one and only @roger.h.sr.7 - of his many accolades, recording on #SongForMyFather w/Horace Silver is one of the absolute highlights 💿. 🥁
•
•
On my new album, I had MY father @benny.benack 🎷 join me as special guest, and years ago I wrote a tune for Roger Humphries called “Song For Our Roger” - it’s the next single on my album, out May 2nd! It felt fitting to record this tune with my Dad…special!

Follow the #linkinbio to Pre-Save the new single, ft. BB2 as well as @oui_mathispicard / @bessiesuave / @joeperi - it’s a special track for me! 🥹❤️🎺🎷

Best music stand I have seen yet: @kraftgeek.us you knocked this one out of the park! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
•
•
Very cool to get my hands on the #CapsuleMusicStand and check out the “Concerto Combo” pack w/the tidy carrying case, plus a phone mount and a stand light.
•
•
•
I’m always on the lookout for a stand that’s light and portable, but still sturdy enough to handle my iPad and charts without being flimsy - this one fits the bill 100%. There’s an even lighter version on their website too…definitely a musician’s new best friend!

🏠”This is the life - here’s where the living is!” 🍾#homeownership #harlem
•
•
After a month on the road, it feels amazing be back in NYC and come home to my *own* apartment…owning a place in the city has been a lifelong goal of mine since I arrived in 2009 for college, and I always vaguely told myself I’d figure it out by 35…well, I’m 34 and mission accomplished ☑️. I’ve got the apt of my dreams now, and I can get to work building a real home and making it look like an actual grownup lives there and not some kid with posters taped to the wall like it’s his first dorm 😂. Baby steps…who knows a good contractor 😏?
•
•
I’ve already been blessed in so many ways building up my career, and I would never have been in a position to buy a place as nice as this had I not had my fair share of luck and good fortune along the way…but I worked really really freaking hard to earn this and I am damn proud of myself for making it happen. I’m not going to pat myself on the back for too long though, because mortgage’s don’t pay themselves, and I’ve got to stay busy to make sure I’ve got a home to come back to after long stints on tour. The work never stops! 😤🤘🏻
•
•
I’ve got a lot more goals and living to do ahead, but I’m glad to take a step back and appreciate one of life’s signature moments for just a sec 🥂. I want cats to know this music can afford you any life you envision, if you put in the work. Above all else, focus on being the absolute best musician you can - I truly believe the saying “take care of the music and the music takes care of you” is true.
•
•
I feel like the older we get, life invariably circles the wagons, and the number of people in your close orbit gets a little smaller as time goes by for everyone. I’m incredibly grateful for the friends and family that have supported me, and being able to share successes with them is everything to me. ❤️
•
•
Big thanks to @zakresnick for being an awesome agent, @mh1nyc for the the mortgage, @danielles389 for the lawyer-ing, and everyone else along the way that helped me get this across the finish line 🏁! 🙏🏻

There was nothing “mid” about the inaugural @midwestjazzcollective tour - aces all across the board! These guys were #inthezone through and through.🫡🏆🚐

The post-tour #photodump always brings a tear to my eye 🥹…in the best way! Tons of swinging and fun adventures w/these cats - plus lots of audiences, clubs and universities along the way who made this circuit viable and a success. Thank you all! 🙏🏻🎶

There was nothing “mid” about the inaugural @midwestjazzcollective tour - aces all across the board! These guys were #inthezone through and through.🫡🏆🚐

The post-tour #photodump always brings a tear to my eye 🥹…in the best way! Tons of swinging and fun adventures w/these cats - plus lots of audiences, clubs and universities along the way who made this circuit viable and a success. Thank you all! 🙏🏻🎶

•
•
Special thanks to @jazzcoterie Kyle & Ryan + my band @joeperi / @chuckgeezy (Team Uncs) and @tylerhendersonm / @calebtobocman (Team Punks)…everyone was A++. My gratitude meter is off the charts today. 📈😌❤️

This one features my brothers @oui_mathispicard 🎹/ @bessiesuave 🎻/ @joeperi 🥁 - been playing this tune for years since I first heard Lee Morgan’s version 🎺. It’s Charles Strouse, same composer of my other title track “A Lot of Livin’ to Do” 💿.

Can’t think of a better way to start this @midwestjazzcollective tour than a raucous night at @bluellamajazzclub where I finally got to play one of Miles’ actual horns 🎺 (!!!) - this beautiful Martin Committee plus a Giardinelli mouthpiece with a little curve in it so Miles could play and tilt down, hehe.
•
•
We had to lean into the moment and play #SoWhat and it was magical to play…so cool! Kudos to Don Hicks and the #BlueLLamaJazzClub for keeping a piece of history in-house and making it open for cats to play - unforgettable!

I’m glad I was actually home in NYC when family made a trip to visit! The Curley clan came to town and saw a few Broadway shows, and made some time for brunch 🍳🥞 - love you guys! ❤️

We had two solid studio days in Copenhagen to lay down this quintet record 💿 during the tour…what a luxury it was to be able to take our time! So many record dates I’ve done felt like a race against time to cram everything into one session…we got some gems!
•
•
Having now finished the live album of my own (out in June!), I also really loved being able to record myself at 8pm like my body is accustomed to being ready for, as opposed to 10am which is most record dates and feels like the most unnatural thing in the world for my 🎺 chops.
•
•
•
I was talking to @morrisontrumpet on @thejazzcruise back in January and he even said he once pulled an all-nighter before a morning recording session, so his chops would still have that “night before” freshness…I’ve debated doing that very life hack myself but never had the cojones to try, maybe I will next time! 🎧

Reflecting on a resplendent tour the last 2.5 weeks, and one of the most serendipitous moments of the entire hang was getting to link up w/my longtime brother from our @msm.nyc days: @christiansandsjazz 🎹🫡.
•
•
When I heard through the grapevine he was in Copenhagen same time as us, I txted him…and a day later I was guesting on a track in the studio w/the wonderful @maleneskoumortensen 🎙️ for her new album - stay tuned, it’s a good one! 💿
•
•
•
A day later I was walking to get some shawarma and bumped into Christian again completely randomly on the street by chance - glad the universe put us back together for a minute…until next time my guy! 🤘🏻

Last night at @musikhuset the incredible @_elaine.victoria painted a bunch of sketches of us while we performed…amazing to see her work! 🎨🖼️
•

This has been a wonderful tour the last couple weeks, and coupled w/two weeks at sea, it’s been over a month straight on the road. Even for a road dog like me, I’m looking forward to being back in NYC!

A splendid tour of considerable pleasure! The Toftemark/Benack Quintet took a couple days in the studio to cut a record 💿 while the band’s hot from our touring…brilliant! 🔥

I had an interviewer recently ask me what was going through my head when I took a scat solo and it got me thinking…💭🤔🎙️🎤
•
•
Here‘s a little play-by-play of the various quotes and influences that went into a few choruses of #Doxy from one of my sets aboard @thejazzcruise last month 🛳️.
•
•
•
When vocalists ask me about language and vocabulary for scat solos, I simply point them to all of my brass heroes…they knew how to sing through their horns! When you listen to CT scat, or Chet Baker, Pops, Roy Eldridge, Dizzy, or Wycliffe etc. you realize how much the horn is just a conduit for their voices…it’s all the same!

Dangggg how is my Dad this in the pocket on 🎺 when he’s supposed to be a 🎷 player!? 🤯
•
•
I guess the trumpet force from #BB1 didn’t skip a generation after all…Pops is in there! Great tune too…#whenitakemysugartotea
•
•
•
I tried playing alto sax one winter break home from college…wasn’t happening lol - my embouchure’s a one trick pony but Dad’s always been able to switch ‘em up…if he keeps shedding the horn like this I’m gonna have to get after it on tenor though!!! #challengeaccepted #bb2andbb3 #likefatherlikeson
