Everyone is waiting. For permission. For the perfect moment. For someone to go first. For conditions that may never arrive. But somebody has to move before they feel ready. Somebody has to start before the applause. Before the proof. Before the guarantee. Be the anomaly.

The end of St. Mark’s. Or as this 60 year resident of NYC loves to call it “The new to the city rich kids’ anodyne monoculture stroll” 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes, Mr. Sonny Rollins is in Yohji Yamamoto and yes, I’m truly gutted at his passing.

Being embarrassed about your age makes no sense to me. How you gone let somebody shame you for being alive longer?

I met my husband at Danceteria, where he was a bartender working alongside Chi Chi ValentI, 3rd Fl. The way he hollered when I showed him this minutes ago 😂 😂

I need to hear ‘I Feel So Free’ in a club on a dance floor. I’d love to feel the pulse/beat 🎶💕💋

I was fortunate to be able to ask the lovely Ms. @DianaKrall a question: which came first, the impetus to play piano or to sing. She answered “The piano, singing came much later”. Of course she & the great Ron Carter have a duo performance! How stellar!
Diana Krall. Last week, Ms. @DianaKrall and I released a project of which we are both deeply proud: a specially recorded duo performance. It was lovely to spend time with Ms. Krall in the midst of her busy schedule. Visit DianaKrall.com and RonCarterJazz.com
