Hotel Figueroa

Teresa and Shane met on the Disney stage production of Aladdin many moons ago. They are having a Moroccan style wedding to fit the theme of how they met. They chose Hotel Figueroa as the backdrop for this engagement shoot. It's filled with gorgeous Moroccan decor. Way to stick with a theme! :) Nice!

Hi Everyone,

My photo is in LA Times today.

Carol Kaye is a Jazz legend. Just click on her name and read all about her on her site. There's too much for me to write about. She's simply incredible and if you don't know who she is, YOU SHOULD:) That said, every Jazz musician on my latest blog entry is a true legend. We are so lucky to have Charlie O's in our back yard. They bring in some of the greatest players!

I'm proud to say I'm Carol Kaye's guitar student.

Charlie O's

The best kept secret in LA. It's the coolest little Jazz joint in Van Nuys. If you dig jazz, get your butt over there!

The Great Jon Mayer on Piano.

Plas Johnson on Sax and John Gianelli on Bass.

Chuck Berghofer ... Wow ... Simply Wow.

Mike Gari, my fellow Sicilian, is making a serious comeback after a little hiatus. You can read about him in the next issue of Just Jazz Guitar.

Check out Ron Stout on Trumpet and Matt Gordy on Drums.
