MUSIC
​
Live rendition of the classic standard at Jazz Central in Minneapolis. Accompanied by Javier Santiago, piano and Graydon Peterson, bass.
​
The classic "Merry Christmas Baby" gets the Gary Hines (music director of Sounds of Blackness) urban blues treatment. From the soundtrack of the Sounds of Blackness' stage production Night Before Christmas - A Musical Fantasy. My duet partner is the talented Core' Cotton.
​
This is a lively island-flavored tune, also from the soundtrack of Night Before Christmas - A Musical Fantasy. I get to sing lead and do a little dancehall-style toasting too!
