Birth of the Blues J@LC4/20/2026 I had other plans for this weekend but they got cancelled and I needed to get away. This was such good medicine to forget for a minute and just be with my J@LC Family and hear some amazing music! The weather was beautiful and got to do a little walking around before the show. In addition to my J@LC Family it was so fun to see James Zito from MSU playing with J@LC and got a copy of his cd on the one year anniversary. Another special bonus was hearing one of my favorite vocalists on the planet and dear friend Kenny Washington! It was also my first time hearing Ekep Nkwelle and she was amazing! This was just what the doctor ordered! Also, ironically I bought my ticket without knowing in the very same seats I sit in each year when I come to Ellington with Byron! It was fun to basically sit next to Printup. Because I'm so close with him I knew what he was going to do before he did it. As he was getting on the risers he came over and gave me a fist bump! We do so much life together so authentically. It is such a blessing to have a friend like that. It felt good to fellowship with him and try and encourage each other. So thankful! Sherman Irby led the group for this performance. He was too humble but I really wanted to hear his feature on Alice's Blues. That would have brought the house down!
