My interests in jazz are:

I have hosted a weekly jazz series in New York City with my husband pianist, composer, educator, band leader Mike Longo for 16 years. I have co-produced 11 of Mike Longo's CDs and supported his musical ventures as well as those of his students and colleagues. I have edited Mike's 10 educational books and am now the President of Consolidated Artists, a company we incorporated in 1999 which sells Mike's educational books and his DVD series "The Rhythmic Nature of Jazz."

More about what I do:

I also manage the sale of the recordings of about 40 other artists on the Consolidated Artists label. I am in the process of writing Mike Longo's biography entitled "The Rhythmic Nature of Jazz: A Jazz Musician's Lifelong Journey Beyond Black & White" which is based on Mike's memoirs. It will be released in March 2023.
