The past few days have just been amazing. I was invited along with three other saxophone players to a Manhattan on the Rideau masterclass at the NAC in Ottawa! The great saxophonist Dave Liebman talked about the process of transcription, and we each transcribed and played a solo of our choice. He gave us a lot of great insight over videostream, and overall really pushed us to get the most out of each solo.

The night before, I had a chance to see Kat again. She showed me around a bit, saw the parliament buildings, went to a bar, and had some dinner. It was a wonderful evening, and a wonderful trip altogether. Life couldn't be better.

Today was COOOOLD. That is all, way too cold. It has snowed a ton in just a few days, and tonight it's planned to be under -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Looks like I'm staying inside tonight...

I shot some pictures for my friend Cameron Vohr, who's a great sax player. This was my first opportunity to really use my new 85mm f/1.8, and I'm loving it.

Music: Everyone needs to check out the Roots' new album Undun, it's so amazing.
