Please join me as I release my solo piano album, American Blue. In recognition of the 100th anniversary of Rhapsody in Blue’s premiere, American Blue celebrates the influence of blues on classical and jazz music in America during the early 20th century.  Selections for the recording feature solo piano compositions by names that may be familiar – such as Ellington, Gershwin, and Copland – and those that may be less familiar – like Florence Price and Mary Lou Williams.  Together, the selections on the recording draw a vibrant picture of American music and those who contributed to it. 

Reservations encouraged. (214) 953-3067.
