Hey Rim’s latest recording features her dear friend and colleague world-renowned drummer Terri Lyne Carrington.  It’s a special tribute to Hey Rim’s Dad, who, unfortunately, passed away prior to the recording release date. 

“Groovitude” has already soared to Top 20 (#14) on the Jazz Week Chart.   We dive deep into her proccess, her hopes for the art form and why Jazz is just as important today as it was in any of its many great and ever changing eras! #Trend with us

Great civilizations in history were paragons of education that was honest, challenging and well compensating. From Rome to Shanghai to Timbuktu to Alexandria, famed places of learning drove their peoples to legendary mathematical, architectural, and spiritual heights that sadly is lacking in our country. Our system is stuttering and staggering down a corridor of no return lead by bad policies and bad leaders. Poet, educator and intellectual Phil Provance has been studying our system for almost a decade and his insights may be our last hope! #Trend with us
