From Dallas, Texas comes a whole lotta funky contemporary jazz, with a liberal dose of R&B and some Latin Jazz, Straight-Ahead and Blues for spice. Put it all together and you’ve got one tasty musical feast for your ears. Linny Nance & Network, and then some, have definitely got it goin’ on!
In 1965, the youngest of 4 brothers, inny was born into a family rich in music. Trombone, accoustic bass, congas and drums were already there. He took up piano at 8 years old, trumpet at 11… Music gave Linny’s creativity a way to work around cerebral palsy, with which he was born. I thrive on what differences bring.” he began his professional career in 1985 with Little Joe Blue, and has gone on to share the stage and/or studio with Dreyfus, Birdology recording artist Lucky Peterson, Yarborough and Peoples, James Ingram (on a Patti LaBelle tour), Texas Blues Artist Tutu Jones, Shanachie Entertainment recording artist “The Saxtress” Pamela Williams, Rendezvous recording artist Tom Braxton, trumpet player Freddie Jones, and a variety of other talented acts.
