I think I'm going to be in the UK in Nov. with Mike Stern. Not sure yet, just trying to iron out the tour schedule with his manager and the booking agent this week.

Easy,

Janek

Hi Janek, I was wondering the same thing? I figured maybe it was through one of my "friends" like Mike Stern or Jamaaladeen Tacuma?
