Question: Shajid, If you could absorb the artistry of three jazz pianists and utilize their gifts, who would they be?

Answer: Jelly Roll Morton, Teddy Wilson and Thelonious Monk. Strength, Finesse, and Rhythm.

 These days, Music and Writing are my “occupassions”. I believe in my Root,  I keep it strong. I respect and cherish where I came from and what influenced me musically. From me, you’ll get a multi-ensembled mix of jazz, Latin-jazz and “Blues”.          

 My originals and covers are seasoned with a soul that continues to process the  experiences that it has witnessed.  

I am the perfect musician for both private and corporate events.  The ambiance that I create brings people together. They will leave your event heaping praise on you for being an excellent host and for the extraordinary music that you provided.
