Good Morning America!!! I think I just lost 10 pounds of grief, anger, shame, and existential dread. Anyone else?

The Star Cats: Worf, Peanut Butter Picard, Number 1 and I would like to pay homage to our dearly departed Patrick Stewart. God among men, now returned to the stars. TV dad, forever Captain, Gurney Halleck, Sejanus, Professor, Prospero, Vladimir. And on and on.
Time to boldly go out into a beautiful day, which happens to be the wonderful ancient Earthly holiday Halloween!

Chris, you were larger than life. You were a rocker who grew up in a classical household. You and I were destined to cross paths. Fast talker’, mover and shaker, talent seeker, connector, magic maker, music lover, ultimate New Yorker, you knew the real spots in the city and you loved to take your trusted friends into these places where the staff were like your family. You treated the waitress the same as Gloria Estefan, who was your friend too. You gave respect and love and loyalty to those that you believed in. When you said “Eleanor, gee, I think you’re swell” it took on a new meaning, since you played it and sang it yourself with The Turtles.
Great story- Chris hired me to play with Thalia, super star Mexican singer, married to the legendary producer Tommy Mottola. We had rehearsal with 4 of us at their house in Greenwich CT. At one point I ended up in a room alone with Tommy. His advice? “You don’t want to carry that thing on your back your whole life, go find a rich man and marry him.” The rest is history, just came home with the cello, still on my back, from yet another gig, no rich husband in sight 😝.Happy as a clam. And hey. The stories are rich and funny and many of them are thanks to the great @christopher_j_apostle. He intro’d me to some of the coolest most talented people I’ve ever met. The Christmas parties were legendary, the phone calls epic, he was always brimming with ideas and projects and stories. I’ll miss you my friend. Wish we had one more chat.
See you on the other side of the music 🌈, we have a lot to discuss.

Wow! Thank you to everyone who reached out to wish me a Happy Birthday, I’m feeling the love and it sure does feel good. I got to rehearse great music with friends and then I went to the DMV because my license expired on my bday!!! But hey, it was actually smooth sailing and someone wrote “VIRGOS RULE” on a white board behind where I got my new picture taken. So maybe I produced a genuine smile for the picture?? Lolz
Here’s a much better pic of me taking over Park Ave captured by my bestie @docin8 right after he cracked my back and treated me to some excellent 🍣 . Twas’ a great day indeed.
Another year around the sun, grateful grateful for everyone. ♥️♥️♥️🖖

ITS THE DAY OF THE SHOW Y’ALL! Or in this case, it’s not just a regular day at the Rouge, it’s the very last one of all 💔 What a trip to be given the gift of FIVE years on Broadway. For a freelance musician who has spent a career hopping from one gig to the next, one tour to another, it cannot be expressed how lucky I felt to have a home base (and a locker!) in midtown for five years. Not only that but I got to go to work every day with some of the most freakishly talented, funny, goofy, beautiful humans I’ve ever known. The second picture here is from our grand reopening after the shut down and the third is from a couple days ago. It’s crazy to think of all the major life moments that have passed between. Thank you @m2musicnyc for hiring me!!Massive shoutout to my two MDs @jewelsmcb and @andrewscottgraham and my string quartet family @the_rachelgolub @kikuindaface #maximmoston and last but not least @katiekresek who not only led us from the CM chair with finesse and artistry EVERY SHOW but she also orchestrated our parts which were a freaking joy to play. I may have aged in these last five years but the music really and truly never got old. That’s because Moulin Rouge will go down in time and legend as one of the greatest hit shows of Broadway. The energy of the cast, the sets, the costumes, the choreography are SO insanely dazzling from beginning to end. It is and will forever be a sparkling diamond, not just for all the audiences but in my heart too. Last shoutout and perhaps the most important goes to my PHENOMENAL sub cellists who held down the fort for me when I couldn’t be there. Y’all were there for me and there for the show and you represented!!! Thank you thank you. Here’s to TRUTH, BEAUTY, FREEDOM, and LOVE ❤️💃🐘⭐️

Really proud to be sharing the stage with these exquisite musicians Thursday-Sunday @jazzdotorg . Chick Corea Lyric Suite is an incredibly deep, diverse, and challenging piece and I feel extremely grateful to have had a chance to dive into it.

Mat was there the last time I saw our dear friend David Gotay, which was also the night my dad died. My flight instinct kicked in hard after I got the phone call, and I ran right into the street. Mat ran right after me and made sure I was ok and that I wasn’t alone. I think back on this now and realize the depth of his love for me. It brings a tear to my eyes. He was like this with all of his close friends and family. He loved his people deeply.
Mat and I saw the world together. We played some of the most exciting concerts Ive ever played, with some of the most incredible musicians, in some of the most beautiful and diverse settings imaginable. The park stage at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, an ancient amphitheater under the stars in Epidaurus, Greece, a car factory in Germany, the great church at Saint-Denis in Paris, a brand new performing arts center in Busan, Korea. The list goes on and on. We played impossibly difficult charts (thanks Gene!) that seemed to soar off the page through the fingers of screamingly talented musicians, under the baton of Kristjan Järvi. And wow, did we all make the most of the travel. We lived it up to the highest degree, and it was the most fun I’ve ever had on the road.
The first picture in my first post is Mat standing in a double rainbow in Iceland. Of all the glorious and amazing things we saw together over the years, it was perhaps the most miraculous. I’d like to remember him here, reveling in the magic, when he and I were at our best. The last picture is the last time I saw Mat in person.
It’s been awhile since we’ve been in touch, (our last zing apart was far too long). Now that he’s gone, I’d like to say:
“Mat, how dare you leave us?’ And he’d say “Yeah, why dont you move to New Zealand already so we can get married” to which I’d laugh, and he’d reply “the funny part is you think Im kidding”
Goodbye dear friend, since I cant tell you in person, I’ll say it to the sky, and the wind, and the trees in your beloved Riverside Park. You were a Kiwi, but you were also a New Yorker, and you left a big mark on a whole lot of people in this town.
All my love to your family and especially to Ted, the love of your life.

Mat was a prominent figure in my life for many, many years. We toured the world together, hung out in New York, and spent many a night on his rooftop terrace on 80th street eating shrimp cocktail from Zabars drinking vodka sodas, telling stories and laughing. He was the baddest bass player around-with the best bass face!! He rocked the shit out of the hardest music in any style. He was the definition of versatile. He also loved listening to music and sharing music. I have dozens of emails from him with links to songs he loved and wanted to share. He would tease me for not listening to them, and he was half right…sorry Mat, I have some catching up to do.
Right now Im working on a chamber piece by Chick Corea, whom he loved. I wish we could talk about it.
Mat and I had a difficult relationship. I could never give him what he wanted, could never take that next step out of friendship, and he could never accept that for very long. Because of this we would zing in and out of each other’s lives quite frequently for a time. Eventually it became unsustainable. But now that he’s gone, Im thinking a lot about why we kept finding our way back into each other’s lives. I think it’s because, at the end of the day, we were really close. We had a very tight friendship. And though he could make me crazy, he had some qualities that are rare in this world: intense passion, hyper-intelligence, fierce loyalty, and a wicked sense of humor.
No one made me laugh like he did. And I loved when he would truly crack up over something. His laugh made me laugh so much harder, which made him laugh harder, and then on and on.
I remember the first time I met him. He was standing in the door of the subway train, an impressive figure with his bass, his Mãori necklace, and those giant blue eyes that stared right at me- and into me. He made a big first impression.
