Wow...twins! I was shocked speechless. This duet gets to stay in the studio and inspire me to greater musical soundscapes. Thanks to Connie Dover and a long list of other area musicians who helped make this soundtrack sing.

Ninth Street

Awards from Black Filmmaker's Hall of Fame, Independent Film Channel, Prized Pieces Film Festival.


The Ninth Street premiere filled the historic Gem Theatre at the restored 18th & Vine jazz district in Kansas City. Composer and actor Isaac Hayes greeted the crowd in a stunning red outfit only he could wear (gotta get a photo inserted here so you can see what I mean).

Afterwards, making our final bow to the emptied street is (L to R) post supervisor Dan Diefenderfer, writer-director Kevin Willmott, sound supervisor Kriss Avery and producer Rick Cowan.
