Thanks California!!! Winter Tour 2013 

I met so many people on this tour. It was simply incredible! I want to thank Denise and Jeri especially for the social networking. Between the red carpet events (Oscars) and all of the parties, I was elevated to an all - time high. It was so great to be a guest at CCH Pounder's home and to meet Lorraine Toussant.These are two actresses who I admire to the fullest! Now the work begins as I sift through the films, press shots, audio to further the productions from these events. Thanks to my social media administrator, also. Joshua you have kept me organized this time! All for now

Musician's Institute 2013 Winter Artist Residency 

I keep saying the same thing, but it is true. It was a blast working with singers and choral groups while serving as an artist-in-residence there. Thanks to Andrea Calderwood and Don Claydon for your support and generosity. I am looking forward to returning. Students have an abundance of energy!!! Thanks, Woody Woods, for driving through the desert multiple times to support my teaching projects there, also!

CAAM-Mar. 3 

What a wonderful event. I thoroughly enjoyed performing, meeting and mingling. The up-and-coming artistry was inspiring, also. And the extra bonus was having a chance to be on live radio with The Oracle before the show. That was very cool. Thanks, Mr.Gunther, Ms. Denise Cook, and, of course, my band - Woody, Trevor and Clayton!!!! Boom shakala!!!

Savannah Jazz in San Francisco Feb. 15 & 16 

My favorite venue of the tour. Those two nights with my crack band was avant garde inspiring. Looking forward to it again! Weather was lovely and so was the wonder sites. And the food - yes, the food was super!!! Highly recommended.

Thank you Catalina Bar & Grill in Los Angeles! Feb. 12 

It was a blast performing, recording and filming here. I never knew a Tuesday gig could be so much fun! Thanks to my A listed jazz team: Trevor Ware, Clayton Cameron and Woody Woods! Ivan Zawinul on sounds - tremendous!!!

Tragedy & Love 

 Tragedy hits us all. We are not spared. The best we can do is to keep moving forward with hope. Colleague & musician Jimmy Greene lost his daughter in the senseless tragedy in Connecticut. It has changed my life. Children are our future. I've recorded these songs of inspiration:  What the World Needs Now Is Love, Love's Free, A Child's Song, With a Child's Heart, Shall We Gather, The Creator Has a Master Plan, Precious Energy.
