Summer 2025
An interview about my latest album From Me To You with pianist Dennis Luxion was featured in May on the popular NPR jazz radio show Judy Carmichael’s Jazz Inspired!
This recording was born of my ongoing four year residency at Chicago’s eclectic Le Piano jazz club with pianist Dennis Luxion and is dedicated to my mentor, singer/pianist/composer Marc Pompe. The album was included in esteemed jazz critic Scott Yanow’s Best of 2024 list!
