Sonwa

So to my New York Family...June 9th. That's when I'll be doing the next SONWA concert and it will be at Everthing Goes Book Cafe located at 208 Bay St. (across from Thompkinsville Park) in the Thompkinsville/St. George section of Staten Island. Its VERY accessable near the Staten Island Ferry terminal. You have and will see me doing may "gigs' around the tri-state area and some of them may be casuals just pick up gigs (and I'm doing less of those this year... for real). But the SONWA shows are MY personal musical expression and constitute what I want to share with the public. So for this I'll be doing the "Power Trio" format with Chris Hall on bas and Chris Almeida on drums and performing songs from my "Seeking Reality", Keys To The Treasures..." and "Liberation Gospel" albums. And also a special litle feature of my youngsters from the Uniersal Temple of The Arts youth vocal ensemble. Our show that night will start at 8:00PM. Don't worry if you're a litle short of cash. The show is free. Come check us out. Free Inspiration. You can't beat that. I'll remind you again when the time is near. Jazz Lives and Liberation Gospel is here

Hey Family...My April's gonna be pretty busy and i hope to spend some of it with many of you. I'll be doing the New York City Tour in April with the SONWA Trio. I'll be announcing dates as they come in and the first ones are April 5 @ Cleopatra's Needle (Broadway at 92nd St. Manhattan), April 6th @ Brownstone Jazz (107 Macon St. Brooklyn) and April 14th @ Everything Goes Book Cafe (Bay St. on Staten Island). We're gonna hit all five boroughs on this mini tour. Plus it will be the month of the Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival so I hope to see a lot of you all in April...Blessings
