I love jazz because as a choreographer I am captivated and inspired by the stories I hear within the music and inspired to create dances that grow directly out of the music. My greatest joy is when I work in collaboration with a jazz composer and my dance ensemble performs to the music played live, all of us fully engaged in an inspired conversational give and take through movement and music. I was first exposed to jazz at home with my parents record collection. As a kid I would listen to Nancy Wilson and George Shearing, Cannonball Adderley, Modern Jazz Quartet, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery... I met Regina Carter, The best show I ever attended was (recently) Esperanza Spalding and Keith Jarrett. The first jazz record I bought was “Kind of Blue” My advice to new listeners... listen to it all!
