This was an exciting spring with the release of two new CDs, followed by great reviews and then two amazing tours with El Violin Latino and Sirius Quartet.
In the next few weeks school will end in Munich and the festival season will begin. First in Blaine near Seattle, then Paris with Sirius Quartet and finally, just like every year with my brother, the annual Einhalden Festival where Sirius Quartet meets Malia.
August will be quiet and I will have some time to write new music. Then the pace picks up in September with a lot of great concerts in the US.
Richie Beirach – Gregor Huebner Duo and The WDR Big Band (Rich DeRosa, Conductor) has been well received. Here are two rave reviews from Jonathan Widran for The JW Vibe and Dick Metcalf for Contemporary Fusion Reviews.
I will be interviewed on WPFW 89.3 FM on Thursday, June 13 at 3pm. I’ll be talking about El Violin Latino at the DC Jazz Fest on Jazz and Justice Jazz Stories Edition with hosts Aaron Myers and Amy K. Bormet. TUNE IN >>
