Welcome to
My Musical World
As a clarinetist, recording artist, and passionate advocate for music by African American composers. For decades, I’ve dedicated my career to bringing these extraordinary but often overlooked works to concert halls, classrooms, and recordings. Through my recordings and performances, I aim to bring attention to these important contributions and ensure they’re included in classical music repertoires worldwide.
A “musical grab bag” recital, which often resembled film music, late-romantic sounds of great melodies encompassing chromaticism with strong ties to Jazz … colorful and nuanced … was performed well.
