My House Concert Story

In January 2020 we hosted our first house party at our home here in Manhattan. It was attended by folks that we know who were at Jazz Congress at Lincoln Center , local musicians and friends. Frank Wilkins played piano and Larry Roland played bass. We played songs from the then anticipated CD "Choices" and a few new ones. More shows are planned when Covid and it's variants have run it's course.
