breathing - God - breathed; while the result being the
transformation from human physical expression into the
spirit aimed use of each individuals special
talent.

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.
