oh hey twitter, long time no see 🤭 decided to start practicing my doubles by doing some improvised duets with myself! these are my 2 favourite woodwind doubles to play & although this is far from perfect, I'm working on em 💪🏼

lil snippet of my November show at the @YardbirdSuite ! All Of Me has become one of my favourite jazz standards, had a blast playing it here at this show!

hey! I'm playing a virtual show at the Suite tonight! $10 to watch anywhere, on demand anytime after 7pm! yardbirdsuite.com/shows/dana-and…

a snippet of Oscar Peterson's Hymn To Freedom- a tribute to my dad, who died 2 years ago today. he loved Oscar, and the album this tune is on was the first jazz record I listened to with him. hope he's listening, wherever he is 🎵

clearly I'm very bad at keeping this account updated, because I forgot to post my newest youtube cover!!! here's my woodwind cover of the immensely talented @itzmartinaol's tune No Love!!! youtube.com/watch?v=nQI0Js…

@drpepperloving @ScottTheWoz Can vouch! I've worked with Andy in a number of settings (including the recital in this video) and not only is he a great player with a great work ethic, he's also really easy to work with!

I wrote help in the snow to emphasize just how much I am looking for animators, live musicians and vocalists interested in paid work. Please be impressed. If you would like to work together please respond to this tweet with an example of your stuff! Thank you!!

A word on the female lens in the world of music production!

been working out on some classical etudes lately!!! these are super fun and challenging me beyond what I'm usually comfortable with so I'm learning a lot!!!

I posted a cover to youtube for the first time in two years! new skills, new format. check it out here: youtu.be/E4D7pKPnAhU tune: Wildwood by @fleuriemusic

@jacobcollier thank you for your energy onstage last night, every single song from your set was healing and food for my soul at a time where I needed it most. your music always seems to find me at the right time. many thanks to you and Djesse ❤

today marks the end of the busiest two weeks I've had as a working musician. feeling super blessed to finally be getting work doing what I love 🙏🏼

@jacobcollier's new album came at the right time for me...if there was ever a time I needed music it's now. relaxing and uplifting, Djesse Vol. 1 is so perfect 💞

last night's show was such a party 🤘

today's theory fun fact: silent night is a 12 bar blues

if any of my #yeg friends want to see me in my natural habitat, come check out my band Odyssey on Monday night at The Aviary! it's a FREE SHOW 🙌

Plenty of us suffer from mental health disorders and you should never ever carry shame! Nothing you're feeling or going through makes you invalid, worthless or a bad person. It makes you human, something we can all relate to ❤️ so lots of love to you all on #worldmentalhealthday

20 years ago today, this young man was driven to a remote rural area of Wyoming. He was was robbed, pistol whipped, tortured, tied to a fence in near freezing temperatures and left to die. He survived 6 days before he finally passed. He was gay. His name was Matthew Shepard.

!!!!! made a huge mistake by not going to a show last night and missed seeing one of my favourite saxophone players and now I have much regret 😬

@JoshDagg You got this!!!
