And ALL....THAT.... JAZZZZZZZZ!

I love jazz, so would it surprise you that I love red, black and white? 

When I hear words like JAZZ, FUNK, SOUL, AND MOTOWN

I get excited.  This is my chosen genre of music.  Jazzy and 

sassy....defines me.  I believe that the GREATEST music of 

all time stems from the era of JAZZ, FUNK, SOUL AND MOTOWN.

I want to bring back the sound of musicians that were

so discredited for being, in my eyes (and ears) THE GREATEST!

To give credit to a few of my musical influences: Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald,

Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn, Aretha Franklin, Tina and Ike,

Earth, Wind and Fire, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson,

Jackson 5,  Marvin Gaye, Al Greene, Barry White,  and sooo

many more!

Present day influences: Joss Stone, Johnny Lang, Amy 

Winehouse,  Duffy, Melody Gardot....to name a few.

I'm working to form the project (yet to be named)

and so far have some AMAZING musicians ready

to go....for instance Corey Cofield, and Shaunte' Palmer!

hmmm..... wonder if I can snag fellow Montanan Jody Sappington.....

or....Seabass??

Keep checkin' back...because this project will be. And it will be FUN!
