Life 🙏🏼😌

Great concert from Itzhak Perlman tonight. I so enjoyed our chat after the show 🙏🏼😌🎻❤️

“It’s You I Like,” written by Mister Rogers himself 🏡 in our own way 🎻 Thank you to Gage Hulsey on guitar and to all the special helpers in our world ❤️ #PBS #jazz

One minute of Giant Steps in the garden with Gage Hulsey 🎻🌻 This song is a very special sort of puzzle and it will teach you a lot about life and yourself 😉 #swing #jazzsky

Would like to share a special album, one of my favorites. Shirley Horn sings and also plays piano. She was Miles Davis’ favorite singer I believe. My teacher Marshall Hawkins played on this when he was about my age. Bob Boss, my mentor and friend also loved this album. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

You got a friend in me with #jonbatiste ❤️🥲 #tour #randynewman #toystory #swing

The top 1% in America now hoard $55.8 trillion — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.

1 month ago we won the Grammy 🎻🥲 Thank you Jon for allowing me to contribute to this very special recording 🤎

Happy memory playing with Jon Batiste when we were on tour throughout the US last year 🖤🎻💪🏼😋🙏🏼 #swing #jonbatiste #jazzsky #humanity

My privilege to play all the strings for this song 🎻🖤 “Dirty Dog” by JMSN (out now)

Having gone missing for most of the week due to severe weather conditions today I am reminded how much I miss the musical snippets of Miss Germain and associates.

My 1am reflection on pursuing greatness as a woman. Something for all the women and girls out there ❤️ in a radically transparent format 🙏🏼 youtube.com/shorts/9wNhp...

Good morning!!!! 🎻 Band is me, Alex Rennie, Miles Jensen and Izaak Weatherwax 😌

Incredible that the DNC won’t release this autopsy because apparently they don’t like the findings. They’d rather keep losing than admit their support for genocide cost them.

Apparently ACL with Jon Batiste aired tonight 😉🎻🩷🌎 Thanks for having us!

Something from the archives. I am proud to have worked with 3 of the people in this band, Richie Cole of course on numerous occasions, and my first and longest mentor Marshall Hawkins on bass, and Bruce Forman on guitar, who I went on one of my first tours with 😇🎻 youtu.be/8cjIaIs-4pU

2 weeks later; so much gratitude 😌🥲

We still have swing thank god!!!! 😌🎻 More on noragermain.com 🎹🖤

My honor to provide all the strings for “Soft Spot” by @iamjmsn.bsky.social which is enjoying a moment of virality 😉🔥 Thanks to #jmsn for having me on 7 albums over 10 years so far 😌🖤🎻👍🏼

Happy memory with Louis 🥁

Department of Injustice

I was inspired by the great CT, Clark Terry, on this one. Get onto the plateau of positivity, he said! I loved his playing so much, and he wrote a wonderful book which influenced me a lot when I was writing my book as well. 🎻 Brush master Clayton Cameron with me!!!! 👍🏼🥁 #swing

A great resource: resistandunsubscribe.com

Always love playing with Clayton Cameron 🥁 This one was arranged by the swinging Red Garland 🎹 on his own album (recorded 1957, released 1969) and then recorded again and made famous by Miles Davis 🎺 on Milestones (recorded and released 1958). A little jazz history for you 😇

Doing some listening at Hill House 😌 Swing !!!!

Miles Jensen and I will be at the Santa Cruz Jazz Festival in March! I am honored to be the featured artist there and thank you so much for having me! 🎻🌎 #jazzsky
