February 2010 After a brief hiatus for medical necessities, I am ready to hit the scene. I am incredibly excited that the I am fortunate enough to be part of the Junior Mance's Quintet's debut album, being released March 7th! There will be a release party at Cafe Loup, the quintet will be perform, reservations recommended. Also looking forward to an imminent recording with the Squiggle Tone Music Company, with which I have been spending much time rehearsing, growing and preparing.
