There is a connection with being from the south and ones endeavor into the exploration of jazz. This album captures the essence of the root of what makes great jazz. Whether it be swing, be-bop, or contemporary jazz these songs all have a common thread that weaves them all together into a masterful compilation of well thought out compositions.
