Debbie Poryes - Jazz Pianist: Home/Purchase

DEBBIE'S LATEST GOINGS ON
I'll be playing with my quartet at the Center for the Arts in Grass Valley on Feb 21, 2010. See the Calendar page for details.
My new solo jazz piano live concert DVD "In the Afternoon" is available for purchase directly through my Pay Pal account! It was beautifully recorded by master engineer, Bruce Mishkit, and he did a great job filming as well. We just used two angles, so you can see my hands the whole time without constant interruption. I got a nice flow going that afternoon, so the music feels connected and creative. You can sample the first tune on YouTube! Just search my name. Or you can go to my links page and click on "YouTube"
