This is a cover of Kenny Barron's Magic Dance. The piece holds a special place in my heart, as Barron's playing inspires me to reach new expressive heights. I've had the pleasure of learning from Barron at the Stanford Jazz Institute, and his instruction has instilled in me the importance of humility and connection that is at the core of jazz. Magic Dance is my favorite tune of Barron's, embodying the duality of technical precision and emotional expression that makes jazz so vibrant and full of life. I've had the pleasure of learning from Barron at the Stanford Jazz Institute, and his instruction has instilled in me the importance of humility and connection that is at the core of jazz. This performance is my homage to Barron's talent and expertise, and my thank you for the kindness and insights he has given to both me and other young pianists.

To me, creativity is the ability to express and share emotions with others in their purest form. It is the drive to create meaningful connections regardless of language or culture through innovation, compassion, and exploration.
