We had a great time at Southbank Centre on Fiday afternoon marching 200 students into Royal Festival Hall in a New Orleans funeral procession before the quartet took to the stage to give a dazzling performance of original compositions based on the life of prodigy pianist, Philippa Schuyler. Check out the pictures as well as the track, Adventures In Black And White.

Join us Friday afternoon at Southbank Centre as we celebrate the life of Harlem born mixed raced pianist, Philippa Schuyler.

The entrire performance is free so bring all your friends and family to this special tribute.

I just finished a rehearsal for our London Jazz Festival Performance this year at Harrow Arts Centre on November 18th with Reuben James - piano, Alex Davis bass and Dave Hamblett - drums. I know what you're saying. Why are we rehearsing so early? It's because we are going to make sure this gig is GREAT. We'll be playing music from my Life Paintings cd as well as a collection of newly written compositions inspired by artist, Sheila Maurice-Grey called Singing Pictures.
