My Jazz Story

I became enamored with Bossa Nova and Jazz growing up as a young child in a Latin American home. This was followed by a 4-year degree Majoring in Jazz Vocals and Minor in Jazz Guitar. My favorite jazz moment? Leading a singsong at a family wedding beside the Amazon River, in Brazilian Portuguese, in the state of Para', Brasil!
