Welcome September ... back to school, cooler weather,
Labor Day, Autumn Equinox, and as always, JAZZ!
On a personal note, Mike's Trio played for his mother's 80th birthday celebration on Sunday, his summer school classes at CVC ended and the fall semester has begun.
We are excited to be attending the Monterey Jazz Festival again (photo of Mike above from last year's trip) and we have our f
ingers and toes crossed regarding the 2017 Grammy Music Educator Award, as they will be narrowing down the Quarterfinalists even further this month.
Another project we have been working furiously on is Mike's recording studios. Whether you are someone who has simply dreamed of recording your favorite songs in your own voice or are already a professional looking to record, you couldn't find yourself in better hands than Dr. Mike. As a recent young vocalist remarked, "I couldn't have been more nervous the night before and could barely sleep, but Mike not only calmed me, he made me feel as if I had my new best friend helping me sound even better than I had ever dreamed. How he does all that and makes it looks so easy, is beyond my comprehension!" So whether you are a professional or someone who simply has a dream to record, feel free to contact us for further information.
On that note, we hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer and plan to give yourself the gift of live jazz this month. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Musically Yours,

VOTE FOR JAZZ
Don't forget, showing up at a jazz performance or purchasing / downloading music from iTunes,
CDBaby.com
or
Amazon.com
is like a "vote" to keep a jazz musician "in office" and continuing to make music. So even if you can't make it out to one of our live performances, we appreciate your support of live music and jazz artists!
Every vote counts!
Thanks in advance,
~Lona & Mike
