Hola Good People, summer surf, practicing the guitar, solo concert, Peter and Leonard at the winery, tweaking the dials at SpragueLand, it’s all falling into place!
![]() Up for this week, we pull from the mid-1990’s two sonic avatars that I had the good fortune of collaborating with. I’m talking about flutist Steve Kujala and bassist John Leftwich. Together we made a couple of cool records and did a lot of gigging and traveling. I first met and learned of Kujala during his stint of playing with Chick Corea’s band. He was a mind blower and I was thrilled when he agreed to do some gigs with me. We struck up a friendship that endures to this day and when I think of flute, at the top of my list is Kujala. Lefty (John’s nickname) and I go way back from rad times at San Dieguito High School and our first jazz group The Minor Jazz Quintet. He’s had a fantastic career playing with a bunch of jazz legends including Carmen McRae and Chet Baker. The two are making the trek to SD, landing at the Handlery Hotel on Friday for a night of camaraderie and music! Please join us for a potentially stellar moment! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That’s the story for this week and come and join in if you can. all the best, Peter |

When do you play with John Leftwich?
Hi Dru, Lefty is playing a tune with us tomorrow in Del Mar at the concert. Come if you can!
