Summer 2002, Aspen, CO. With Conducter James Dupriest after performing John Adam's Short Ride in a Fast Machine. You can listen to the live recording from this performnace on this site! In fact, it is the first music you hear when you go to jamestousel.com. Give it a few listens. It was an honor to play for Mr. Dupriest, who is a personal hero of mine. He is a true genius who has over come many obstacles in order to make art of the highest level. If you ever get a chance, read about his life and listen to some of his many great recordings.
