a snippet of Oscar Peterson's Hymn To Freedom- a tribute to my dad, who died 2 years ago today. he loved Oscar, and the album this tune is on was the first jazz record I listened to with him. hope he's listening, wherever he is 🎵

@drpepperloving @ScottTheWoz Can vouch! I've worked with Andy in a number of settings (including the recital in this video) and not only is he a great player with a great work ethic, he's also really easy to work with!

@jacobcollier thank you for your energy onstage last night, every single song from your set was healing and food for my soul at a time where I needed it most. your music always seems to find me at the right time. many thanks to you and Djesse ❤

[Dana @dandersonsax]

today marks the end of the busiest two weeks I've had as a working musician. feeling super blessed to finally be getting work doing what I love 🙏🏼

[Dana @dandersonsax]

@jacobcollier's new album came at the right time for me...if there was ever a time I needed music it's now. relaxing and uplifting, Djesse Vol. 1 is so perfect 💞

[Dana @dandersonsax]

last night's show was such a party 🤘

Plenty of us suffer from mental health disorders and you should never ever carry shame! Nothing you're feeling or going through makes you invalid, worthless or a bad person. It makes you human, something we can all relate to ❤️ so lots of love to you all on #worldmentalhealthday

20 years ago today, this young man was driven to a remote rural area of Wyoming. He was was robbed, pistol whipped, tortured, tied to a fence in near freezing temperatures and left to die. He survived 6 days before he finally passed.

He was gay. His name was Matthew Shepard.

!!!!! made a huge mistake by not going to a show last night and missed seeing one of my favourite saxophone players and now I have much regret 😬

[Dana @dandersonsax]
