Her discography includes the jazz piano trio album “Angel Eyes” and the self-produced “Color of Dreams” showcasing her original works.

Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company. She currently serves as the music director at First Baptist Church in Piscataway NJ and teaches jazz piano at City College of New York and Brooklyn College.
