Clinic at BYU ( Brigham Young University )

I had a wonderful time with the super-creative students at BYU on Nov. 1 & 2.   We played repertoire from early jazz and these "kids" really know what they're doing!    Steve Call is their fearless leader and a great tuba/trombonist.

Science of Creativity

Today I gave a lecture at CU on this fascinating topic that spans the Arts & Sciences.   In this talk I present research from neuro-scientists studying creativity and how these discoveries can inform our own creative process.

I'm thrilled to have played with this great band led by Greg Garrison.
