CD release event at mezzrow, this sunday (5/21)!

5/17/2017

I'm so excited to share the music from my album with everyone at my CD release event at Mezzrow, this Sunday, May 21st. The set at 8:00pm is sold out for the listening room, but there are still seats available at the bar for walk-ins. The set at 9:30pm has plenty of space in the listening room, so if you want to guarantee a spot in the listening room, definitely follow this link and reserve tickets for the 9:30pm show.

I'm incredibly lucky to be sharing this night with the rhythm section from my album: jazz luminaries Curtis Lundy on bass and Billy Hart on drums. These two musicians are among my heroes, and I am so fortunate that they have given their talents to my music. This will be a very special night, and I am looking forward to seeing everyone there!
