Here's a few pictures including one of my little 'Jazz' from 12 weeks in the summer of 2004.  She's a Standard Schnauzer and a real joy, even if she can be somewhat overactive at times!  I've added more pictures of her now as well.  One taken in April 2006 on our daily morning walk in the woods.

There are photos from various performances including the Ottawa Jazz Festival - our Mulligan concert photos from 2010 are on the 'Gerry Mulligan' page.

While there are several pictures from Alternate Takes 2003 performance at the Ottawa International Jazz Festival, sadly, I have no pictures from 2004.  I've added a couple of photos from the 2005 festival.  Alternate Takes performed at the World Exchange Plaza for a noon concert on one of the hottest days of the summer.  The audience had a great time, though, while sitting in the shade of trees and umbrella-topped tables.  Alternate Takes performed again in 2006 and 2007 for our fourth and fifth years.  Alternate Takes is back rehearsing with lots of new material. 

Beginning in 2005, the trio and quartet have been very busy.  I've included a photo from a private party that we played at the Cafe at the Museum of Civilization.  Paul [b], Derek [p] and I played on the patio on a beautiful August evening.  The patio at the Cafe presents a view across the Ottawa River to the Parliament buildings - a wonderful setting.  There also is a picture is from the 2006 New Years eve party at Eighteen.  2006 was a great year and while I have few photos from private gigs, we have played at many wedding receptions as well as private parties and functions.  I have posted a couple of pictures of my 10-piece dance band 'Acoustic Flight' on wedding reception bookings. 

I've included the picture of Mt. Rundle, just outside Banff, Alberta, just to remind me of what a great time my wife [Gail] and I had when we lived in Calgary.  I miss the mountains and the 'mountains' here in the east don't quite measure up! [even though I grew up here in the east]

I'll change these from time to time and add new photos from current gigs when available.
