I remember that summer when Regina showed up on the scene, chaperoned by Marcus Belgrave. Seemed EVERY jazz stage I sat in front of, she appeared on...didn't matter if it was Orange Lake Drive, Alexander Zonjic, or whatever, this perky and energetic and enthusiastic young lady would just blow them off the stage with her violin...and they all loved her.


This morning I'm soaking up some energy from the Toy Matinee...a disc I got from the DTS people seven or eight years ago...and I seem to only play it twice a year. Great harmonic energy and driving rhythms...not a bad way to start a Friday.
