The Quarantined Jazz Voyager
The masking and social distancing continues as we are heading into another month of factions of society refusing the vaccination, putting themselves and others in harm’s way. Keeping myself safe with limited exposure to outside forces, this quarantined jazz voyager remains for the most part, secluded. So this week I am selecting an album by Tia Fuller that was released on May 25, 2018 titled Diamond Cut on the Mack Avenue label.
Having known her since she was a student at Spelman College, she has since worked with Beyonce, emerged to international acclaim on the jazz scene and landed as a professor on the faculty of Berklee College of Music, while still holding down a demanding career as a solo artist.
