Breaking the “Rules”
The biggest challenge when I improvise is how to create structure without creating limits. How do you choose guidelines that will help you without creating blockades for other ideas?

Duets w/ Anthony Cox
In an attempt to document my work as an improvisational vocalist (and to work with a great bassist!), I approached my mentor friend Anthony Cox last summer about getting into the studio together to play. We finally aligned our schedules earlier this month.
I “Had” to Post This
My friend Jawshoowah told me that I had to post this.
It’s a recording of the fanta-bulous-ly talented (and gracious) Lori Dokken and me singing “What a Little Moonlight Can Do.” How it pertains to improv? Lori and I had never performed this song together before. (You can hear Lori help me remember the words in the second verse.)
