“A captivating jazz singer...”
Jim Dwyer, New York Times
WHAT’S NEW?
It’s been an exciting summer! On July 3, I gave audiences at Saratoga Springs’ legendary Caffè Lena a special sneak peek at music from my forthcoming recording, The Sweetest Sounds, due for national release on Summit Records in 2027. It was a wonderful evening of new music, old friends, and some terrific musicians — and I’m looking forward to sharing much more from the album in the months ahead.
Meanwhile, I’m continuing to perform around the Capital Region and beyond. Upcoming appearances include an August 30 gig with keyboardist Azzaam Hameed at Market Bar and Restaurant and a jazz trio date on September 17 at the Stella Pasta Bar/Van Dyck in Schenectady. Check my Calendar page on this site for the latest dates, and I hope to see you at a show!
