Excited to be to returning to @jacobspillow this summer!! July 16-17 ✨ This is a little piece I wrote for their “What’s Blooming in Festival 2026!” blog where we each had to share a flower/plant that we feel resonates with the work we’re performing this summer, or our work in general. Check it out and more at the link in my bio.

Last night, I had the honor of sitting in with @gregoryhutchinsonofficial @jazzcultural , and I just want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude. Hutch, thank you for the invitation—it truly, truly means so much to me. Thank you as well to @christiansandsjazz and #larrygrenadier for welcoming me and playing so beautifully. It was an honor to share the bandstand with all of you. This night was especially meaningful to me because of my history with that space. For those who don’t know, the new Jazz Cultural on 46th Street was formerly Swing 46—a place that shaped me. I grew up going there every Sunday starting at 11 years old for the tap jam hosted by my mentor, Buster Brown. That’s where I learned how to do exactly what I was doing last night—how to tap dance to jazz music. So to return to that space and dance there for the first time again in this new iteration, on a Sunday, with Hutch, felt incredibly full circle. I know Buster was smiling. Deep gratitude to you, Hutch, and congratulations to @spikewilner on opening Jazz Cultural. I’m so excited for what’s ahead for that space. Thank you. 🤍 (And thank you @melvissanta for the video!!!✨)

We had a great time @artbathnyc !! ✨Two beautiful nights with @chrispattishall @kcolinabass and @jahiancm . We had a lot of fun and I even sang a little bit, which I always enjoy doing 😊 Thank you for having us 🙏 ✨ Here are a few shots by @juanpatino 📸 Coming up next for me is @joespub on May 9th with “Steppin’ with ‘The Kid’”: A Celebration of Betty Carter”.
