If you are any where near any of her performances, be sure to catch her.  She is really coming up in the Jazz world.  Moved to NY and making a name for herself.

Hi everyone!
It's officially Spring. In the spirit of James Brown, it's time to get up  *GET ON
UP*
 and get on out!  Here is my upcoming month of performances at a glance that I hope
you can get on up and into if possible.
*YOW!*
**Monday April 4th @ Symphony Space 2537 Broadway**
I'm hosting an All star cast concert presented by the Sidney Bechet Society of NY.
The line up includes a legendary rhythm section of
Bucky Pizzarelli on guitar, Jackie Williams on drums, Jerry Bruno
 on bass, and Fats Waller afficionado
Pete Sokolow
 on piano.  In the front line we're featuring multi-instrumentalist genius
Scott Robinson, the incredibly talented and likeable Jim Fryer
 on trombone and vocals, and my good friend from Canada
 Evan Arntzen
 will be playing reeds too.  I'm very excited to be a part of it!  and a little nervous.
but mostly excited.
Tickets are available here:
