Beginning in January, 2009, I directed 16 students in the Afropop Ensemble of Naropa University. They just completed their final concert (Way to go people!) The majority of the class performed in the 6th annual Bao Bao Festival at Boulder Theater, providing the backup band for Kofi Mawuko, from Ghana - and they did it just 7 weeks after the first class! I also made a repeat performance at the Jazzoula/Buddy Defranco Festival in Missoula, MT, and a set honoring Buddy Defranco, 86 year old clarinet wiz, who is still playing his butt off. In Missoula for the festival were Benny Golson, Dave Samuels, Randy Sandke, Steve Smith. The summer promises some very rich musical adventure... and its almost here - including Brazilian percussion, Balkan brass music and more!

2008 Started with a wild ski tour - playing outdoors for the X Games in Aspen and warming up for De La Soul. Continuing with Jazzoula Fest in Missoula, MT and total inspiration by Buddy DeFranco, Phil Woods, Bucky Pizzarelli, John Allred. The BIG SKY MUDFLAPS reunited in NYC Aug 30, at Judson Memorial Church, 55 Washington Sq. South, NY, NY to celebrate the life of Richard Wendell Cordtz. What a night! I returned to NYC in December to perform with Thiago de Mello & Amazon (with guest vocalist, Ithamara Koorax) in a celebration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - world premiere of "A Flame in the Dark", Thiago de Mello's composition honoring Sergio de Mello and all those who died in the bombing of the UN Offices in Bhagdad. The year finished with the long awaited release of Judy Roderick & the Forbears on the Dexofon label. With Mac Rebennack playing piano & B3 on four tunes... there is a lot more than meets the eye... or the ear at first listening!

Summer 2007 musical adventures were a blast: Carbondale Art Fair and Telluride Jazz Fest wi Bola Abimbola, as well as Crestone Music fest with Tobatana Marimba. eighteen years ago I played Telluride Jazz in its infancy - on the same stage! Not to forget a great reunion with the Big Sky Mudflaps, including several illustrious guests: Joan Zen, Huey Lewis and a great violinist from Brooklyn!

In Sept 2006 I performed a wonderful series of concerts in Brazil with Thiago de Mello and Antonio Mello, in Rio de Janeiro, and also in "MIMO" Mostra International de Musica em Olinda near Recife, Pernambuco. Audiences were great and the crews superb. Lume Arte, the producer of the festival, originates from a great love of music and manifests an impressive blend of vision and attention to detail. In addition I gave a clinic for some very motivated and naturally talented young reed players... in Portuguese!
I was also invited to perform as a special guest with Sharon Isbin and Thiago de Mello. I love playing Thiago's music, and Sharon always brings performance to a very high level.
Then in my spare time, I studied with the amazing young "AcariOcamerata" of Acari and sat in with Ney Conceiçao, Marcos Amorim, Fernando Trocados, Eduardo Neves and many others. Saw great musicians everywhere, and a bigger than life show by Ithamara Koorax. As if that was not enough, my friends from new Orleans, Tom McDermott and Evan Christopher were in Rio, and we had a chance to hang out and play with some great Cariocas! I gained a wealth of friendship and the "Inspiration" tour truly lived up to its name.

2005 was an exciting year, recording a new CD of original music with Thiago de Mello in NYC, starting the Dexter Payne Quartet and the opportunity to perform with singer/composer René Marie. Al that plus dates with Lionel Young, Boubacar Diébaté & Dialy Kounda. and Michael Stanwood as well as Playback Theater West, regular Mondays at Herb's with Denver Jazz Orchestra (dir. Sam Bivens) and frequent engagements with latin jazz Dan Egger-Belandria Trio.
