With a genuine love for music she returned to the field after working with youth in undeveloped areas and Acting on some major stages in Atlanta. This helped reconnect her to that first love. She then headed back to Los Angeles and studied voice, theory & other music classes at LACC. She hooked up with an 17 year old by the name of Eloit Douglass and they went on to Osaka, Japan to perform for half the year. upon returning to the U.S., she returned to Atlanta and opened "Intown Sheet Music Store on Peachtree Street where she hired 7 music teachers to teach and also carried the largest supply of Jazz sheet music for a small independent store in Atlanta.

Through these perfomances she had the opportunity to perform for two of the Presidents of Ghana, UN Summit, Louis Sullivan Summit, numerous Ambassadors, NGO's, major events and keeping Jazz Alive in Ghana. She was a judge for the Mentor TV show in Ghana.

- Wow, I guess that means we'll perform together another time! Probably in another country, who knows maybe even Monte Carlo!
The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.Rudresh Mahanthappa On Piano Jazz
