New philosophical traditional jazz for the modern jazz connoisseur. A jolt of effervescent and honest vitality with a light sophisticated touch. Timeless truths in the language of today. A technicolor tenderness that will surely put a smile on your face.
FRIDAY we record a WHOLE ALBUM! Oh and MONDAY? A completely different surprise project was recorded. Life is full of plot twists and I'm pinching myself over here. So much to share... but not yet... soon... very soon. 🎶

"We Belong Together" live at Five Spot Jazz 🎶
Brand new song, written days before the gig with Steve Sandberg, Michael O'Brien, and Daniel Glass. They threw DOWN as if playing an old favorite.
And that's how we roll! With love, sincerity, and a touch of swagger.
Much ❤️ Revelers!...

Sharing a clip from my Fivespot gig — this is "Won't You Be My Valentine," a song I wrote for a Valentine's Day show this year. Steve Sandberg on piano, Michael O'Brien on bass, Daniel Glass on drums. Thinking I might record it next month 🎵 - or save it for a later time... :)

About last night... actually, very early this morning. 🎶
Stepped up to sing at the late-night vocal jam at Dizzy's Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Late-night revelers, an incredible band, and that kind of magic that only happens past midnight.

New original called "On The Road" — a swing tune about life on the road, missing home, and being fully present wherever you are. Live at Five Spot Jazz with Steve Sandberg, Michael O'Brien, and Daniel Glass.

One new album a year — every year. This year there's enough material for four. I have a budget for one. I'll figure out the rest. I always do. 🖤

Debuted "In The Shadows Of My Heart" live at Five Spot Jazz in New York — a brand new original with Steve Sandberg, Michael O'Brien, and Daniel Glass.
None of us had played this song before. The groove we settled into was something else. Steve got us started, and we all locked in.
New album soon.

Looking for new original jazz... written by a woman (Moi) ;)
Give it a try... you might like it... if you don't what have you lost? If you like it, you've discovered something (someone) new!
Made with LOVE!
