Inspiration is the focal point of art. The word being defined; as to infuse (as life) by breathing - God - breathed; while the result being the transformation from human physical expression into the spirit aimed use of each individuals special talent.
~written by Allen Youngblood

Jazz has always allowed me a unique perspective into our culture through various avenues. The metamorphosis of two distinct cultures. African and European, transformed in a historical context of human bondage, blossomed musically into this fascinating platform and documentation for the art of improvisation and American social commentary.
