A native of Houston, Green is a classically trained player with a doctorate in music from the University of Maryland (and is an associate professor at Berklee College of Music). Her playing, however, is light-years away from the ivory tower. Funk, soul, hip-hop, gospel and dance-pop are all tributaries to her sound — not to mention the jazz standard repertoire (some of which she adds a soulful alto vocal). All of it, however, comes with a precise conservatory technique and impeccable sense of rhythm.”
