White Christmas

A rehearsal at Tony Scherr's Brooklyn studio in the early 90's - Tony, Eric Halvorson, Dave Pietro, Scott Whitfield, Dave Riekenberg. 

06 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

At some point back in the 90's (1990's!) I was trying to do some sextet arrangements and composing - tenor, alto, trombone, guitar, bass, drums. I wrote a lot of music for that configuration but also arranged some Christmas music and tunes that were somehow connected to it - like David Berkman's "Not A Christmas Song" (I hope it's ok with David to post this). Tony Scherr very kindly recorded one of our rehearsals at his house and I'm pretty sure this group was Tony (bass), Pat Halloran (trombone), Dave Pietro (alto), Dave Riekenberg (tenor), Satoshi Takeishi? (drums) and me, nylon string.
