A Jazzy Christmas

My father booked me again for another concert at the Dallas Convention Center (TBAAL) on December 12, 2009. I didn’t find out about it until two months before the concert date. If you know me by now, you know I want to be fully prepared and give it my all. So I had two months to prepare. Since it was in December, I decided to do some Christmas tunes as well as some jazz standards. I called a few of my musician buddies and friends to see if they would be available to perform with me on that night. Some already were booked, and others was going to be out of town. I remembered Forrest Davis Jr. (saxophonist). He was always reliable, so I called him up and he was happy to do it. Then, I called up Andise Altine (vocalist) whom I met through my father. She called me one day and told me if I ever needed a vocalist in any of my show, give her a call. That’s exactly what I did. I called her up and she accepted.

Andise has a sultry voice, and she is very dependable and faithful when it comes to rehearsing. Her and I prepared for the concert every other day of the week up until the concert date. You can really tell when someone has a heart for music like she does. Anyway, when the time came for us to perform, we didn’t have a large crowd as always, but we still gave it our all even though the crowd was small. I’ve uploaded a few samples of the show. Check them out and let me know what you think about Andise’s voice. Later.
