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.

Thanks to everyone who attended the Circular Dreaming show in downtown Oakland on Nov. 28, 2007! The performance was held at 21 Grand, a gallery and performance space dedicated to experimental and alternative music. I was joined by 2 wonderful musicians: Carla Kaufman on bass and Dante James on drums. This jazz trio performance of my compositions was complemented by video projection, notably an original motion graphics work by Marco Salsiccia for the piece "Circular Dreaming." Pictures below, and I'll be uploading video clips soon too. Photos courtesy Carter Tomassi. - Valerie
