“Singer Tyreek McDole on Nov. 19 became the second man to win the annual Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition. He also may have been the first competition winner to have been inspired by an animated trumpet-playing alligator named Louis.”

“There's often the idea that we all just listen to music…but to listen intently and to listen to understand and to listen not just to respond, but to enhance the conversation, those are things and points that not only relate to the music that I do, but also to life.”
— Tyreek McDole
