Covid has brought a new way of appreciating what we have and what we had. Survival and Peace of mind are the challenge for all of us in this pandemic. I begin this year with the re-release of my very first album, “Listen Here.” originally released in 1985 only on vinyl. Kenny Barron piano, Buster Williams bass, Ben Riley drums, Arnett Cobb tenor, Scott Hardy guitar, Duduka da Fonseca percussion, special guest pianist, Bliss Rodriguez “Centerpiece.” I’m grateful for all the great music I’ve sung and the best of the best musicians I’ve recorded and toured with. This album is where it all started. May 2021 bring the end to covid and renewed passion and love for our fellow man.
