I'm preparing (logistically and mentally) for my trip to Bremen for the Jazz Ahead conference after which I'm really excited that my trio is headed to Berlin to play at B-Flat and then to the Women in Jazz Festival in Halle, Germany… and as if that weren't enough, as soon as we get back to...

In a way, music is all about relationships. It's about connecting with people in the moment, on stage and off. I've been very lucky to connect with some wonderful people over the years and the past couple of weeks have been no exception. From September 23rd-27th I took part in a Women Composers Workshop in...

First of all, the end of 2013 was especially exciting in that my latest album Distilled was on Jakob...

These are all in celebration of the release of our new album Distilled, which in the last couple of...

I'm heading to the airport to pick up Maarten Ornstein, the saxophonist from Holland who will be performing a couple of duo concerts with me on the Reykjavik Jazz Festival this week. Maarten's influences contain a great blend of traditional and ethnic music and I'm looking forward to exploring some different music with him. We...

The new album is officially released now, and it's already received some flattering reviews. Here are a few of my favorite quotes: “probably the brightest of all her releases to date." — Stephan Moore, JazzWrap “This could have been mistaken for not only an ECM record, but a very good ECM record." — S.
