Headed home from an unforgettable weekend with the legendary @paquitodriveraofficial, celebrating his 70 years of groundbreaking contributions to music. Grateful for the music, the stories, the laughter—and the honor of being part of such a historic moment. Here’s to legacy, passion, and the power of music to bring us all together.

Rehearsing in the iconic Rose Hall at @JazzDotOrg with legends Paquito D’Rivera and Chucho Valdez, alongside an unbelievable lineup of musical guests. This stage holds so many memories for me… sharing it with the father of South African jazz Hugh Masekela, soca queen @AllisonHinds, members of the @Jalcnyc Orchestra, and celebrating Monty Alexander’s 80th just this past January. Grateful for every note and every moment shared.

Last night in Rome I had the pleasure of listening to @rosariogiulianisax and his new project BRASS!, backdropped by the beauty of the ancient Colosseum. I first became acquainted with Rosario at a session for @lockevibes when he and @donnymccaslinmusic traded impossible lines on Joe’s “Love is Perpetual Motion” from the album Love is a Pendulum. It was a warm, clear Tuesday night… The sound was wonderful and the music was sublime. It was an unforgettable evening and a testament to how the arts COULD (and should) be treated in a society that cares. Bravo, Rosario!
