Greetings!

I hope that this finds you well.  I have done some planning in the woodshed.  Soon I will be unveiling my musings.  In the meanwhile, my thoughts have been drifting to friends and family.  It has been a while since I have seen some of you and I really do miss the hang.  SO....let's make it sooner not later that we see one another! =)

Mark MONDAY - AUGUST 4TH, 2008 on your calander and come out to Jack & Giuolio's in Old Town for "Jazz Under The Stars" with our gracious host & owner Jack Perrin.  I join the Jim Guerin Quintet featuring Joey Carano on Guitar, Doug Walker on Bass, Bob Daniels on Drums, Jack rolling out the Sinatra Love and yours truly.  Bring the whole family!!

This weekend sets me in lovely Rancho Santa Fe.  If you are a member of the following locations, join us!  These are private events:

Saturday July 19th, I will have the pleasure of playing with my Quartet @ Morgan Run Country Club.  "An Evening of Jazz & Soul" Featuring: Richard Thompson on Piano, Doug Walker on Bass & Dave Pschaida on Drums. 

Sunday afternoon July 20th, I join the Third Coast Jazz Band as we serenade the audience for "The Concert On The Lake" @ Fairbanks Ranch.  Live music by the lake complete with picnic baskets, dancing children and good friends.  Featuring Jon Walters on Guitar, David Owen on Piano, Jim Weiss on Saxophone, Paul Tillery on Bass, Kevin Dooley on Drums.

I hope to see all of you soon!  May your travels be filled with beauty and light.  Thank you for everything that you do in and for the world.  Together we can overcome any obstacles.

Hello!

I hope that this finds you well.  As the summer heats up I find myself searching for more work just to pay for gas.  With the world as uncertain as it is, I have questioned my motivations time and time again as a musician.  I have found however, that in my search, the world is beautiful and this art - unquestionably - has to be shared.

So, my next step on the quest is to finish mixing the Album.  Artistically, I came to a stand still on what to mix, what to release.  It is so hard sometimes to be subjective and patient with my own progress.  Thank you to all of you that have been a guide and a source of wisdom through this time in my life and my career.

In my search for my own voice, I found that there is a need for organizations to help musicians in town in various roles.  I am proud to introduce: The San Diego Jazz Musicians Guild; An organization dedicated to preserving Jazz History in San Diego & providing support for local musicians.  Through our endeavors of love, we can make a difference in our community!  For more information, please contact me directy @ karincarsonjazz@yahoo.com.

Thank you again for your time and your interest.  I look forward to seeing you out there!

Blessings & Love
