Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra delivered a brilliant concert that reminded us that jazz continues to evolve while staying firmly rooted in culture and tradition.

“For Choirboys, Church Queens, and Those Whose Sundays Stopped Too Soon” at Project Row Houses

Harrison Guy’s “For Choirboys, Church Queens, and Those Whose Sundays Stopped Too Soon” is a standout installation that confronts truths that the Black church has often refused to speak aloud. It is a sanctuary for men who carried the weight of worship on their backs while hiding the most vulnerable parts of themselves.


Major Announcement

Music has always been a part of my life, and I’ve decided to turn that passion into a new outlet for creativity and community.

I’m excited to share the soft launch of Mocha Man Music, a Houston-based record label, music publishing house, and artist management company.

I’m currently looking for artists who want to grow with a label that values development, fairness, and long-term vision. If you’re an artist looking for a label home or management support, I’d love to hear from you.

Our first release is an instrumental titled “X Minor,” that I produced. It’s the beginning of a catalog that will grow with intention and care.

You can follow the label on Instagram and TikTok

We’re also forming an all-Black female alternative rock band. If you play guitar, bass, drums, or sing and want to make real music that moves people, join us.

Auditions: Now Open

Ten Years Without Prince Prince was one of the greatest musicians who ever lived. His music could move your body, break your heart, and stretch your mind, sometimes in the same song. You can hear it across his catalog, but you can see it most clearly in moments like his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” when he reminded the entire world that there are gifted musicians, and then there was Prince.

Cimafunk Brings the Funk to Discovery Green When I visited Cuba in 2016, I fell in love with the people, the food, the art, and especially the music. That trip deepened my appreciation for Buena Vista Social Club, Chucho Valdés, and Celia Cruz. So when Cimafunk took the stage at Jazzy Sundays in the Parks at Discovery Green, I came expecting a connection to Cuba. What I got was a performance that reframed the way I think about Cuban music and its place in the larger Black musical world. Read...
