The Jazz Club Union of Composers in Moscow is fantastic! Saxophonist Oleg Kireyev Quartet was wonderful and gave me the perfect foundation to soar vocally I strongly believe you should be an open spirit so all the blessing that are meant for you can reveal themselves.  I want to share an amazing moment with you.  This was a gig that was meant for me.  Why I say this with certainty you will know shortly.  I was called about this gig at the last minute we had about 28 days to work out contract, visas, and the whole 9.  When I arrived at this club in the dressing room was a oil painting of a black woman I know something was familiar about it but I could not place it.  I asked about the painting and the artist.  His name is Slava Gorsky a famous Russian jazz pianist who has always also painted.  I asked about buying the painting and the owner of the club said “I make for you a present”.  Upon arriving home I ran to the room where the picture this reminded me of hung.  I was completely blown away.  About 15 years ago my late grandmother who lived in the tiny town of Starkville, Mississippi bought a painting for me, it Was the Same Women!!

I believe everywhere you are is where your supposed to be.  This journey that I’m on has been laid out before me to navigate.  I can’t wait to see what’s ahead and I hope you come along for the ride.
