When I was a kid and my Dad was unwinding with the likes of The Modern Jazz Quartet, Rashad Rolan Kirk, Mongo Santamaria and Dizzy Gillespie. I had no idea that one day I would somehow be connected to that legacy. In no way am I comparing myself, my songs or my poetry to the brillance of those "cool cats" I just mentioned, but I am acknowlegding my accomplishments. This past Saturday along with my group Universes I was blessed with an opportunity to perform at Dizzy's Club inside Jazz at Lincoln Center. About six months ago Universes auditioned for Jazz at Lincoln Centers Rhythym Road, which gives Musicians from the U.S.A an opportunity to travel the globe as Cultural Ambassadors.
Thank you Dad, and Thank you Dizzy.
