Thankful!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

This year I am most thankful for my Father's cancer remission and a beautiful family. Its been rough at times, but we've made it through. I feel like its in these moments that our true character is formed, when we're faced with adversity. I'm learning how to SMILE in every situation :)

(I didn't say it's easy, but I'm trying, LOL)

Hope you have a wonderfully blessed Holiday Season with your loved ones....Gobble Gobble!

Do it with Love, TRUE LOVE

This summer has been a great time to reconnect with friends and family including my mentor and producer, Paul Brown. Lately we’ve been in the creative stages, writing and recording music.

We’re about half way through my third album!! I can’t believe how fast time flies. I can still remember when I was waiting for "Tequila Moon" to be released, a little over 2 years ago!

I know you guys are gonna luv the new album! It has a kinda funky Brazilian jazz vibe to it with some Paul Brown guitars, sizzilin' sax and fun vocals too!

Lastly I wanted to share with you the joyful part about being an artist…recently I was touched by this kind note:

“Hey Jessy,

Just wanted to Thank You!! Two Years Ago, you played the Jazz Fest in San Antonio, TX. My daughter met you backstage and you told her she was beautiful and she has never forgotten it. 2 weeks after she saw you, she ended up in the hospital and almost lost her life due to an infection in her heart. I can tell you that as she laid in PICU , she said, "Dad, we're gonna miss the JazzFest".....it broke my heart, but Thank God She's completely healed now....she starts school in August has has elected to learn how to play SAX!!!!!!! I think you had a little to do with that and I am GRATEFUL to you. May God continue to Bless you as you inspire other young girls around the world to pursue their dreams.“

Wishing you all the BEST!

Luv,

jessy

New Press Articles:

Latina Style Magazine Cover Story; Latinas in the Jazz World Feb 2010

"She’s Latina, and plays the sax and sings and dances, and has that particular passion and rhythm.’ It’s very rewarding to be the kind of artist that reflects what I really am: I am a Latina, and I’m very proud of my parents and where they came from and how hard they worked to provide opportunities for my sister and me.”

Jazziz Magazine On Disc; True Love Spring 2010

"...evokes the sun-kissed shores of Bahia…moonlit fantasies of a romantic rendezvous set again a tropical backdrop."

Press Enterprise Newspaper Up Front; A Decision for a Lifetime April 9, 2010

“We just want to create a space for people to enjoy life and have fun.”

Cheers!

Hope you all stay happy & blessed…

Exciting News:

My new single, “TRUE LOVE” is being released across the nation ~ please contact your local radio station to play it today!

I was just featured on the cover of Latina Style Magazine!

Java Jazz Fest:

Being in a third world country reminded me how fortunate we are to live in a place with so many amenities. Simple things like drinking water or air conditioning can easily be taken for granted.

I also found that the Indonesian fans were completely sweet and embraced our culture…upon arriving in Jakarta we were invited to a special Dinner Party at the US Embassy.
