Keith recently completed a highly-successful and symbolic European tour dedicated to “Togetherness” with celebrated Russian saxophonist Oleg Kireyev, recording and performing shows and festivals in Serbia and Hungary. In interviews with national Serbian radio and television, the duo avoided questions of politics, instead deferring to their mission in music to accept differences and bring people together, as was the case of Oleg and Keith’s unlikely friendship and subsequent multi-album success as co-leaders. The tandem is preparing for a special series of festival concerts in 2005 featuring standards and original compositions.
