Yes.

Just heard Twins Jazz is closing for good. That was where I started @wwjazzfest because no other venue believed in me. Run by two women— they always created space for us.

If you’re a woman of many talents and multitudes it’s hard for people to put you into a box. You defy specialization. Your super power lies in your multipotentialite abilities. For so long I was negged for being too many things and felt insecure about my generalist skill set.

“I’ve never felt less valued and so disrespected as an artist. I want to know, ‘Do you not care if we disappear into thin air?’ ” thanks The Washington Post for featuring me in this article. #extendpua or let me work to survive! google.com/amp/s/www.wash…

How admirable! to see lightning and not think life is fleeting. --Basho (tr. Hass)

Laura and Jan Knutson gave a beautiful performance of my original composition, "Recuerdos," at Meadowlark Botanical today. It was great enjoying live music outdoors again (safely). Thanks, Virginia Chamber Orchestra & Meadowlark Botanical Gardens! #tango #composer #violin #dc

No matter where you celebrate this year, The U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own” wishes you a safe and #HappyThanksgiving and #holidayseason. Virginia State Parks #ShenandoahRiverStatePark #GoinHome youtu.be/N_HMTE_9psY

I recorded Amanda Whiting's solo #harp arrangement of Silent Night, and combined it with some Christmas and winter imagery in Wondershare Filmora Video Editor. 🎄❄ #MadewithFilmora #silentnight #christmasmusic youtu.be/GLYwKe1zuKg

Amazing! Our community are so talented. 🤩🎄

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK  #BelovedCommunity

What's better than one harp? How about SIX harps! This inter-service sextet combines musical forces to bring you a stirring rendition of the classic patriotic song, “America the Beautiful,” as reimagined by arranger Daniel Burton. youtu.be/4z4WI0o0930

Do you guys know about Eugene Bullard, the first Black Fighter pilot & ONLY African American pilot to serve in WWI? He ran away from Georgia at 11 yrs and made his way to France, learned German, became a boxer, jazz musician, served in WWII & worked as a French spy against Nazis.

"The evening’s mission may be to play #music, but my true purpose is to represent the rest of the U.S. Army that cannot be present in that room. In that moment, my music serves a singular purpose: to say 'thank you.'" -Sgt. 1st Class Nadia Pessoa 📷: Master Sgt. Chris Branagan

I wrote about the ⁦Northwestern⁩ music students who practice inside the campus parking garages - free duet for tuba and trombone anyone? chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…

R.I.P. to Willard Scott. He hosted a reboot of a talent show (similar to American Idol / Star Search) on the Family Channel that I performed on as a teenager! I have fond memories of meeting him and filming at Universal Studios in Orlando.
