I have no idea why I was wandering around North Beach with my horn in the middle of the night, but I think it had something to do with Rob Scheps.

I love to perform concerts in planetariums. This photo was taken at Chabot Space & Science Center, Oakland.

When Mr. Eastwood was Mayor of Carmel, he would sometimes come to our concerts at the Jazz & Blues Company. He's a musician, a big jazz supporter, and a very warm, down to earth gentleman, but his steely gaze never failed to intimidate the entire band.

My all time favorite Tom Kwas photo. I was a little irritated that Peter Klabunde, our art director, made us get up before sunrise, but I'll never question his vision again. Looking at this image makes me miss San Francisco deeply.

My buddy Tom Kwas came all the way from Milwaukee to shoot these great portraits at the Golden Gate Bridge.
