This fall, I’m publishing a book of 25 compositions called Streets of Philadelphia. These pieces, all inspired by and named after streets in Philadelphia, were written to be played by any instrumentation. They're all new compositions and none of them have been recorded, so think of this as my new album, it's just on paper. The book was designed and printed on Risograph by Erik Ruin, a Philadelphia-based visual artist and leader of the audiovisual band, Ominous Cloud. The Streets of Philadelphia book is limited to 100 copies.

To celebrate this release, I will be presenting three concerts at Pageant: Soloveev in Philadelphia (with more to come elsewhere), featuring six unique groups playing music from this book including a high-energy electric set from Desertion Trio (featuring Johnny DeBlase, Kevin Shea, and Ron Stabinsky on organ), a set of minimalist inspired quintet pieces and solo/duo music from the Streets of Philadelphia Chamber Ensemble (featuring Veronica MJ, Dan Blacksberg, Tom Kraines, and Anthony DiBartolo), ambient electric guitar duo music from myself and Mike Baggetta (who released an amazing record with Mike Watt and Jim Keltner this year), solo piano music from Brian Marsella(John Zorn's go to pianist), the book’s namesake jazz trio Streets of Philadelphia Trio (featuring Matt Engle and Dan Monaghan), and a percussion/viola duet from Ashley Tini and Jessica Pavone (who is about to release a new record with Jessica Pavone String Ensemble). 

In New York and elsewhere, Streets of Philadelphia Trio will be performing on October 16 at Branded Saloon as part of the Off Brand Series and these compositions will be played at a number of the shows throughout the fall by Desertion Trio and in duo with Mike Baggetta
