Reflection of 2021

Here are some notable performances I did in 2021.

Marsden Jazz Festival 2021

Covid lockdown has been tough. But I am very grateful that performances are gradually coming back. I performed with Gary Crosby and Eddie Hicks in Gary’s trio at Marsden Jazz Festival in October. So great to be able to perform again.

BBC Radio 3 In Tune

Soon after that I performed with some young cats, Allexa Nava, Cassius Cobbson and Gary Crosby in a live performance at BBC Radio 3 In Tune. The feeling of performing live on radio is a bit nerve wrecking. You know that there are many people listening but you just don’t see them physically. We were all very happy with our performance.

2021 finished off with a huge concert at the Queen Elizabeth’s Hall in December celebrating the great work done by Tomorrow’s Warriors for the past 30 years. It was such a great day seeing many familiar faces, both young and mature (!). Once again I am very grateful to be included in this big family. A great way to complete a year indeed.
