Practicing with the Pros   Well Hothouse readers, it is once again one of those nights when my hat comes off to the performers coming through our studio, this time to Will Clark (keyboard) of the smoothe jazz band “Surewill,” and his new project backing R&B diva, Marva King.  Ms. King, a natural talent since [...]
