Look at you starring amongst those big names! Al Jarreau, Marcus Miller, Rachelle Ferrell... it doesn't get much better than that!
I can't wait to see Rachelle at Scullers in a couple of weeks - I had the extreme pleasure of meeting her at the Capital Jazz Fest a few months back. Now I have another conversation piece besides our prior meeting when I see her!
Yeah! Thanks Phil...
I'll be there too. Rachelle was incredible at the OIC event. And to watch her jam with Kem and Al Jarreau...talk about it!
I was back stage watching her shine into a zone of freedom and light. I internalized a large level of performance notes from her that night. As you probably already know, since you also interacted with her Phil, she is a beautiful and down to earth person.
Iyeoka,
I want to say thank you again for sharing your talent on stage during the Greater Paterson OIC 35th Anniversary Gala...it was such an amazing night that people are still talking about.
However, if you thought that was a powerful evening...just wait until you experience our next event! We have already confirmed our headline talent and currently building a list of guest celebrity performers that will make your jaw drop. Our venue may be too small.
Let’s connect soon to discuss the possibility of you participating in our event in the fall of 2008.
Talk soon...
