Florida is a very nice place to be

So we’re actually doing it! I spent about a week in Orlando going to the Jazz Educator Network conference and meeting so many great and inspiring folks as well as reconnecting with friends. I spent the entire week filming collaborations with many of them. First, I started a series with my former jazz professor who I just happened to run into one night and he was very down to work together. It will be a super fun series, but will take about a year to film which is a crazy undertaking, but I guess that’s the point!

Next, I filmed a very silly collaboration with Jordan and Isaac from FreeDaps.

The other collaborations *to be edited* were a fun one with Harry Watters out on his dock, an interview with a professional soccer player, sitting in with an amazing party funk band and recording on their next album as well as an interview with their trombonist, and finally a trumpet lesson!

This week I’ll be heading up to Columbus State University to give a talk to their students and then the rest of the week I have blocked off to edit all of this amazing footage I’ve captured the last two weeks.

Right now I’m in between Miami and Orlando on my way up for one last Florida collaboration, but on my way out of Key West I managed to film a little bit on the beach and grab an iconic picture of a gorgeous Miami night.

Until next time!
