Last month, two of our recordings were used in the new ABC primetime TV show "Dr. Odyssey." “He’s A Tramp” was used in episode 2 which aired on October 3, and “Ain’t Misbehavin’” was used in episode 3 which aired on October 10.

Earlier this year, the Jive Aces were in Southern California performing at a swing dance, and we did a couple of songs together, just like old times.

My original song “Under Your Spell” was in the independent film "“Daughter of the Bride” which came out today in select movie theaters in the United States.

Our recording of “Jingle Bells” was used in the episode “Call me Chrismukkah” on the TV show Call Me Kat on Fox today.

Our 2015 Count Basie-inspired recording of “Jingle Bells” was used in the movie “A Christmas Open House” which was released on Discovery+ today.

My original songs “House of Make Believe” and “Under Your Spell” were used in two episodes of The Girl In The Woods which were released on the Peacock streaming channel today.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to The World Stage Art, Education & Performance Gallery in Los Angeles for a concert in honor of my mentor Henry Franklin’s 81st birthday.

Join me in about 45 min at 4.30pm Eastern Time on the WICN 90.5 radio show "Standard Time" with Al Dean.

All of the 140 packages have gone out now to the contributors of my “Renaissance In Blue” album campaign. The album will be released publicly in a few months.

Today I received a phone call from the mayor of Pordenone Alessandro Ciriani and councilman Emanuele Loperfido.

A second article appeared in the regional Messaggero Veneto newspaper about my song “Pordenone,” which I wrote 20 years ago about the Italian town in the north east of Italy. I am honored by all the positive responses—thank you so much!

I am happy to announce that we made the album target and we also finished up the album music!

Years ago, I wrote a song called "Pordenone," after visiting that small town in the Eastern part of Italy, while I was on tour with The Jive Aces. It was the first jazz song I ever wrote, and I wrote it on the train to Switzerland when leaving Pordenone.

The Dutch regional newspaper “Gooi & Eemlander” just published a nice article about my jazz music career.

We did our first day in the studio on the new album today. The album is inspired by Nina Simone and will feature a more bluesy jazz style than my previous albums.

I hope this new music video for “Jingle Bells” will add to your holiday cheer. :)

The crowdfunding campaign for the new album just reached 60 percent!

Here is the new music video for “A Warm, Fuzzy Feeling.”

This Friday, my original song “A Warm, Fuzzy Feeling” will be heard in the opening episode of the fifties astronaut drama “The Right Stuff” on Disney+.
