    Thanks to everyone who attended the Circular Dreaming trio show in San Francisco on April 6, 2008! Two exceptional musicians joined me in creating the evening's music - Bill Noertker on contrabass and Andre Custodia on drums & congas. Instant emotional communication is one of the joys of jazz, and the magic was really happening that night. Photos courtesy Carter Tomassi.
