My thoughts on receiving the Governor's Arts Award

I’m honored and grateful to be receiving this award. I never could have imagined when I first arrived here from New York in 1997 – a young jazz pianist, starting my first University teaching job, and looking for a place to build community, – that I would be standing here more than 2 1/2 decades later, so bountifully surrounded by what I hoped to discover.
