At SMALLS Jazz Club Bruce Barth and I were able to close out the tour with a bang. With such an intimate setting you could hear the slightest whisper. The crowd was so It allowed me to dig deep and explore the songs in different ways. The crowd was so envolved and gave us so much energy and we were able to draw the attention of some of the biggest names in NY Jazz. Syndicated columnist and cultural critic Stanley Crouch and Village Vanguard Club Owner Lorraine Gordan graces us with there presence. And a surprise gift from the universe Emmy award winning documentary film maker Robert Levi was in attendance and after the show mention that they were about to release his award winning documentary “Billy Strayhorn: Lush Life” world wide as a full length DVD and he wanted to interview me about the Strayhorn influence on my music. I now know how it feels for the world to seemingly open up to you over night. Wow!!
