I’m learning to trust myself again. More over, ready to put the same energy into my vision that I’ve been giving everyone else. Spring is the dawn of new beginnings. New album coming 🔜. #wke #wklegacy #blessed #march #spring #chicago #artist #blackman https://www.instagram.com/p/CpYAmFcOdDM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

RIP to one of the biggest musical influences of my life: Wayne Shorter. I couldn’t decide which selection to perform to pay homage, so this is a tribute suite in 3 parts [‘Yes Or No’ / ‘Wildflower’ / ‘Speak No Evil’]. Anyone that knows me on a deeper level knows how much I salute Wayne (especially @jacobslocumjazz). I’m just blessed to have had the chance to see him perform some years back with Herbie, and to be a witness to his greatness in person. I’m sure he got residual checks just from me performing and playing his cuts for eons (😖). Rest in power to a true legend!! #wayneshorter #wke #wklegacy #ripwayneshorter #jazzpiano #jazzcomposition #jazz #music #musician #craft #yamahaC7 #chicago #america https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTKZMRveRB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a pleasure and honor it was to see my teachers, friends, and colleagues earlier today at Columbia. It’s so strange being an adult-adult around them, because no matter how far I’ve come, I’m always reminded where I used to be when around them. @cassyqtkeys is a phenomenal colleague and homette! Levinson helped me develop my composition and classical piano understanding unlike any other. Huydts was my way in the program, and my path to graduation 👨🏽‍🎓! Lo Verde pushed me to the limit with her advanced sight-singing curriculum, and @cerquajoe is the sole reason I’ve been working in the professional theater scene for over 20+ yrs now, all because he recruited me to play “The Wiz” in the hallway! I’m grateful for all the friends and other faculty I saw earlier, and plan on being around more often in the ColumbiaSphere in the near future 📚! Much love and reverence to the legacy of our dear Columbia family Martez Rucker, as his impact is forever strong in our hearts! #wke #wklegacy #teachers #faculty #columbiacollegechicago #teachers #educators #america #chicago (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co1UAZXNX8I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The wilderness is often necessary for us in order to get reconnected with the source. Preparing to take a big leap of faith, and praying things will manifest for the better. 📸: @chaunciav #Artist #music #wke #wklegacy #musician #songwriter #composer #educator #writer https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVb3Rzvqel/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#aboutlastnight: Another quality-piano-on-the-gig scenario. Thee ole Yamaha C3. It’s well-maintained, and it came through big time on my 2-HR nonstop cocktail hour! I went through every genre in the universe, then had to play 3 hrs with the band (on keyboard). Ah, the life 😖. #chicago #yamaha #piano #wke #art #music #musician #america #wklegacy #willionaire #artist #christmas @yamahapianosofficial (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmMloAIuntK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
