Benefit Shows supporting Courage to Change

May 7th and 8th, 2022

Day One was hosted at The Seamonster, Seattle, WA.  The turnout was tremendous!  Thanks to the fans for coming out to support a great cause!  We reached over 10,000 people through our efforts to generate donations and raise awareness to the cause of addiction and recovery.

If anyone needs help Courage to Change is available! Good people great cause. The word is out there now! But the work is never complete until no one is struggling. The biggest causes for addiction are broken families, family trauma, and abuse, but all people can be victims of pain, and addiction. It’s a vicious cycle, so G-d bless the donors and workers in this field.

Night two was in Everett, WA at Tony V's, a few blocks away from the Courage to Change temporary shelter facility. The music was great, it looked amazing, and we are all very proud of the awareness we spread!

Recording sesson with Medeski and Martin (MMW) Trio & Quartet in Woodstock, NY

April 2022 , Woodstock, NY... Ari spend a few days tracking  Trio and Quartet John Medeski Billy Martin of Medeski, Martin and Wood! The music was both composed and improvised. Long time music friend and collaborator Jason Fraticelli joined in for a day of songs. Fans of Ari's will know Jason from the Robert Glasper, KJ Sawka sessions of which the first single came out last year. Jason was performing with Cyro Baptista in Boston and popped in on his way to Philly! 

"The studio was fantastic. Chris and Mike where extra helpful in making it a great vibe. Spent the nights in a cabin by a river and woke up ready to go every day!" Says Ari. "John Medeski and Billy Martin are two of the most Generous and Creative minds I have worked with. I felt and instant connection and can't wait to listen, mix, and master this material to share with the world." 

MMW is one of the most creative and listened to avant gaurd forwad thinking bands of a generation, if you are not familiar with this band - do your self a favor go check it out!
