Here is a little video from our last Blue Whale performance. The audio is quiet, so turn it up! I wrote this song back in 2008 when I was at USC. I think the way Sam plays the melody on this version is really special. Hope you enjoy!
Features Jonathan Richards, Nikos Syropoulos, and Sam Gendel.

…Now its off to the farm for me!
I had the honor of performing with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson’s Quartetto Fantastico last night (10/12/11) at Blue Whale. It was an amazing experience to share the stage with so many beautiful musicians. Special guests included Vardan Ovsepian (one of my favorite pianists in the world) and Gabe Noel (a great bassist).
I recently recorded this track with Konrad Paszkudzki (piano) and Mike Gurrola (bass) at Nolan Shaheed’s studio in Pasadena. I’ve been playing with Mike quite a bit lately with a number of different people. He is a beast! I just met Konrad a few days before this session and I hope that this will be the beginning many great things to come!
