Description
I and the musicians comprising my ensembles are enthusiastic ambassadors of Jazz and its heritage. With programs that feature music composed by important creative artists like George Gershwin and Duke Ellington and popularized by legendary performers and interpreters such as Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra, we convey the fascinating, inspiring and enjoyable backstory of America's only original musical art form for audiences of all demographics!
Work Sample
This is a YouTube playlist of videos that were made of projects I've done. Ranging from classical to R+B, contemporary, gospel, and folk, this playlist showcases the types of projects that I do often.
Here's is a 4 minute feature on Chicago's ABC channel 7(WLS) from April, 2007 of my Quartet performing for Jazz Appreciation Month
Here's is a 3 minute segment of my 8-piece ensemble performing a Frank Sinatra tribute concert in Indianapolis, Indiana from August, 2011.
These work samples are a great representation of the type of dynamic, interactive performance that I and my musicians provide to bring great American jazz(and it's backstory) to life for audiences of all demographics.
History
Award-winning, 20-year full-time, Chicago-area professional jazz vocalist with my own ensembles(solo piano, duo, trio, quartet, quintet, octet) who has performed at many venues throughout the United States.
