Sunday Jam @ Cleopatra's Needle OVER!

My Sunday Jam Session at the Cleopatra's Needle that started since December 2001
finally ended on April 25th, 2010.

I'm proud of that I could continue this gig for such a long time.
And I'm very thankful about that so many musicians came down to play with me.


There's no such a thing that never ends.
This could be a start of something for me.
The down side is my monthly income will be
$50 (the gig payment)x 4(Sundays) short
from next month.

SOMI TV shooting session

SOMI's TV shooting session at Southpaw, Brooklyn.
(for Food network? not sure yet.)

This was my 3rd TV appearance this year.
The next step for me would be a movie appearance, right?

JAfro debut!

I might have tried to play TORU DODO's music.

But I got to feel like I can't limit music.
Music is supposed to be for every human being.

Then I came up the word "JAfro".
I felt like this word would
give me more direction.

So I decided to start playing JAfro music.
People may want to ask "what is JAfro?"
I'd answer "what is Jazz?"
