NEWS
This week, All About Jazz published an interview that I conducted with percussionist Steve Kroon. It’s an interesting conversation that explores Kroon’s career from his early musical memories to his current album El Mas Alla (Beyond). Check it out HERE.

On September 8th, the United States Postal Service will be releasing a stamp to commemorate Latin Jazz in the United States. You can check out the stamp HERE
