Current Performances

Dear Friends and Fans,

At this time I'm not playing very many public performances, but rather, a number of private engagements. If you're interested in hosting a fun and exciting jazz event at your home or a designated venue, please consider including me ("The Jazzmom") and maybe some of my "guys"! And, let's all resolve to resurrect a REAL jazz club in Anchorage, so we can once again listen to, and celebrate a true American art form.
