Raymond has rightly received much acclaim and recognition, including the DownBeat Educator Achievement Award (2020) Her contribution to music and teaching include a directorship of Jazz Studies at California State University Northridge and supportive roles at Los Angeles City College, The Herbie Hancock Institute, University of Michigan, Bard College, and Idyllwild Arts. Divinations, her second record as a leader, is packed with colorful inundations of notes, riffs, and arresting bouts. Divinations is an exhibition of Raymond's musical dexterity and responsiveness to original compositions inspired by tarot cards from various decks.
