NEW SINGLE AVAILABLE NOW!
Dear reader,
On the cusp of the Monterey Jazz Festival, I’m thrilled to share with you “Asilomar” – an original tune written about the majestic beachfront on the California Central Coast. I wrote this song staying in Pacific Grove, CA, while at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 2022.
Asilomar State Beach is remarkable and after listening to some Nat King Cole that morning, I felt inspired to sit down upon the rocks and write.
This recorded performance features:
Tamir Hendelman (piano), Larry Koonse (guitar), Kevin Axt (bass), Jake Reed (drums)
Please enjoy a taste of “Asilomar” as seen through my eyes.
​
Best,
~Staci
