I am LOOOOOOOVING this rainy LA weather.  It's cold and "Christmasy" and makes me feel like I'm on the East coast.  All I wanna do is lounge around, watch old movies on TCM, drink tea and hot cocoa and eat warm hearty soups.....and that's EXACTLY what I've been doing!!!  

It's perfect timing because frankly, I'm exhausted!!!  October and November had me crossing the globe to record and perform in Italy and Japan with the Nicola Conte Jazz Combo.   And just when I thought it couldn't get any better...I got an early Christmas present when I signed with Universal Music Group International - EmArcy.  TALK ABOUT JOY AND ABUNDANT blesSINGS!!!!!    The prestigious EmArcy label is the home of jazz legends Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Sonny Rollins, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, Max Roach, Clifford Brown and so many others.   Here’s photo of me with my attorneys, Jeremy Mohr and Ken Hertz.  I am honored, grateful and thrilled beyond belief. Thank you for your love, encouragement and support through the years and be on the lookout for the Spring 2011 worldwide release of ConJazzNess.

I pray that you and your family have a beautiful Holiday Season...that heartfelt moments create beautiful memories and fill your Spirit with more love, more joy and more peace.  

By the way...here are a couple of photos from the contract signing...one with my attorneys, Jeremy Mohr and Ken Hertz...and another with my babies....who didn't think I was "cool" until Ken Hertz walked in with HUGE Christmas presents for them...wish I had captured THAT moment!!!  LOL.
