Loved Ron Blake since the RH days. What kind of horn is that!?

2023’s #LoveRocksNYC by God's Love We Deliver was a night to remember.

A night with great music and fellowship. Every year, we come together as a family to make this event happen.

Inspiring show by Ron Blake last night 👑🎷

Sad news about DavidSanborn’s passing. David’s sound left an imprint on many genres and his influence drew new listeners to the beauty of instrumental music. Rest well and thank you for your kindness.

Sir Ron Carter,
On behalf of my family, I’d like to wish you a Happy, Healthy, & Harmonious Birthday! Thank you. For everything. Words won’t suffice, therefore I’ll continue to pursue the best notes to play, at the best moments, expressively.
