First prize at the Charles Dolo Coker Competition, Opening for Terence Blanchard

We just had a great week with Terence Blanchard! Originally Branford Marsallis was suppose to come, but he canceled at the last minute. We were traveling a little bit the last couple of weeks. First in Seattle with the Monk Band, opening for Terence’s Band. Than I was in San Francisco playing some gigs with my friend Emmanuel and a great singer Laurie Antonioli. In the mean time I attended and won the First Prize at the Charles (Dolo) Coker Scholarship Competition!
