Performing with long time musical collaborator Dr. Tony Genge the music echoes the sound and feeling of jazz legends

Earnestine Anderson, Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald - with a little extra blues thrown in for good measure!
Bassist John Lee and Drummer Kelby MacNayr are the perfect combination to supply the subtle tension and rhythmic energy necessary for the music to take flight!
