After more than 35 years in this business, there are still new rooms to enter, new audiences to reach, and new places where the music deserves to be heard. There are challenges that come with this journey, particularly as an independent artist in this industry, but I remain grateful for every opportunity to perform, connect, and share what GOD has given to me. I’m looking forward to seeing you at one of my shows…and LORD willing - giving you a memorable performance. Thank you. 🙏🏽🎶

Please enjoy this fun performance with the ‘VoiceDorf’ Jazz Choir at the Poysdorf Jazz & Wine Student Concert in Austria 🇦🇹(Kulturhaus Poysdorf)! https://www.jazzandwine.at/
We had a great time bringing together “I Got Rhythm” (George & Ira Gershwin) and “Anthropology” (Charlie Parker), both built on the classic Rhythm Changes that continue to inspire generations of jazz musicians.

A special shoutout to Georgia State University School of Music (Gordon Vernick, Kevin Bales, Karla Harris) as I continue pursuing my Master’s degree in Jazz Studies. 🙏🏽 It’s exciting to bring fresh ideas from the classroom into performances like this while adding new material to my repertoire as both a performer and educator. 🫶🏽🎶

Thank you to the outstanding Dozenten 🍎 ~ my musician brothers ~ for making the experience so rewarding for everyone.😊

What a sunny, joyful Saturday!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our PLAYdate collaboration with Parsons‘ Open Play Lab @openplay_lab and the Women in Jazz @wearewijo!

It was so beautiful to watch little ones explore new ways of playing and interact with creative prototypes.

A massive thank you to our incredible volunteers, musicians, and photographer, and to @altparadigm for leading such an inspiring, open-ended experience for our community.

Please feel free to tag yourselves 💜
