The mail has been extremely disappointing lately, gobbling up almost every big check I’ve been waiting for, including an “emergency grant” for over $5K that I still haven’t received, issued in November 2020. Anyway, because I am who I am, I wrote a waltz about it, and you can hear it here, debuting tonight.
Happy almost November! Holidays are right around the corner, and I’ve got a treat for you- personalized vinyl records! Each record contains a one-of-a-kind live take, made specifically and individually for each person that orders. All of these records are in effect masters with no other copies made. The records aren’t mass produced, dubbed, copied, etc. and they each contain a different live performance that exists nowhere else in the world. Think of these records like audio polaroids…each individual from one another and 100% one-of-a-kind. Pick one of three songs, and leave me a note if the record is cut for you, or a gift to someone (or maybe you want me to tell an amazing joke at the end…) A great way to send a little love to someone you care about.
Hi everybody! My new single “Let’s make a change” is coming out Monday at 3pm on youtube. Join me for the party and live chat here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9K7tRsVwog and I’ll be going live after to talk best chords, WWJF tshirts, voter registration deadlines, and how much I love the DC gogo census song. Can’t wait to hear from you!
In 2009 I performed on Rhodes keyboard with McCoy Tyner at the Kennedy Center. I hung out with Geri Allen backstage while watching him play solo. They are both gone now, and I listen to one or both of them as often as possible. In a surreal world, here is my offering to the jazz gods. Buy now
