"McCarthy snags the spotlight for himself, delivering a sparkling album....that deserves a prominent place in the record stacks of local jazz aficionados"
                                                                                            -Dan Bolles, Seven Days

"...McCarthy’s selection of Burlington musicians for his quartet is as tasteful as his sax playing."
                                                                   -Brent Hallenbeck, Burlington Free Press

 “[McCarthy’s] alto has plenty of fire without surrendering its lighter touch.”
                                                                                                             - All About Jazz

I am pleased to announce that I have just been added to the prestigious artist roster for Conn-Selmer and Selmer Paris instruments.  I am truly honored.  For more information on Conn-Selmer and Selmer Paris instruments, click the pic...

The NYC Dragonbird event was a BLAST.  Played every horn there, and not only are they excellent, but are true works of art.  And the concert Wednesday night......legendary

My 'Take Five" interview on the All About Jazz website has been getting some attention, If you'd like to check it out, you can click here and see what it's about.  While you're there, you can also download the first cut on my album, 'Flood Gates,'

UPDATE 6/29/2011: We'll be taking a break from our Wednesday night gig for just a little bit.  Please check back in August for when we'll be returning.

Check out Mike Gordon's latest album "Moss", where I help fill out the horn section.  Visit http://www.mike-gordon.com for more details.

I just want to say that the event at Mountain View Country Club this past Monday was beyond my expectations.  I'd say somewhere around 200 people came out to see the group, and the weather/golf gods smiled upon us, giving us a beautiful evening, sunset, and setting for the whole event.  Thanks to MVCC for hosting, my manager Linda for producing, and my band for playing great (as usual).
