Join us as we celebrate the long-awaited RELEASE FROM DRUMMER,
arranger, educator and composer extraordinaire, GAYELYNN
MCKINNEY. The title of GAYELYNN’s new album “The New BEGINNING”

MUSICIANS IN JAZZ INCLUDING JOHN COLTRANE, Wes Montgomery, Kenny
Burrell, Sarah Vaughn and others. GAYELYNN IS BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO
THE MUSIC AND REINTRODUCING IT TO TODAY’s Jazz audience.One of
Detroit’s most admired drummers, Ms. McKinney celebrates her
family’s musical legacy with the new album. Besides her musically
