I've been instructed to upload video of me performing. Obedient person that I am, here is a video of the title track of my Third Stream album 'Beyond the Blue.' With (live) Kenny Werner on piano, Sean Smith on bass and Billy Drummond on drums. www.tessasouter.com/videos/blue-...
I am so excited to share that I am a Chamber Music America grantee! Thank you so much #chambermusicamerica #CMAgrantee
Oh wow! I totally forgot I was on BlueSky until someone emailed me today. Thank you so much!
I came across this. I knew my dad who brought me up knew Robert Indiana and had been painted by him, but I not that he was a poet or had a motorbike! But he did become an art historian (he went to the Courtauld Institute) and was always reciting poetry. www.robertindiana.com/artworks/art...
Wow! So it could have been anybody!
Do you remember Connie? I was with her. Another time I went to Ruth Ellington's on Park Avenue for afternoon tea with my Argentinian friend Guadalupe and an Argentinian singer friend of hers called Lois Blue. It's vaguely surreal to think back.
hahahaha!
I'm not trying to be age-related in these posts but I have to say that this INCREDIBLE poem, written and read by the unbelievable Oscar Brown Junior, gets more and more relevant as time races on. Eek! What a superb and deep writer.
“How Music Got Free”, an excellent film on the disruption of the music industry, although like most narratives does not touch on the illegal CD price fixing by major labels or the role of current RIAA CEO’s role in “work made for hire” issue back in 1999.

I went to Melba's house in Harlem many years ago with a friend who would go there to massage her feet! Living in NYC is quite incredible isn't it!
The incomparable Nancy Wilson, introduced by the equally incomparable Oscar Brown Junior. Age 23! Puh-lease! Proving that you don't *have* to be older. There is also channeling! Yikes. You're welcome! #nancywilson #oscarbrownjunior #tessasouter #singersongwriter
Me too! I cried! hahahah
You probably have to be a certain age (Sarah Vaughan was 57) to be able to sing this song from the bottom of your heart like this. This might be the definitive version! #sarahvaughan #sendintheclowns
If you are in need of some heart-expanding, this is so incredible it physically hurts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh6h... #herbiehancock #BobbyHutcherson #RonCarter #TonyWilliams Impossible to single out one instrument as the most inspiring. #magical
