"We will create BRIDGE MUSIC at that moment." One of the critical elements of "jazz" is improvisation. As a rule, the musicians play original compositions or standard tunes. We will not rehearse. We will take risks from being on the "spot" to create. I assemble some outstanding improvisers to take you on the pathway of bridging us all together. I wanted to call this group "the risk takers," but it is a tribute to those who came before us that did not have the choice but to take risks, create and improvise to survive. Our music will be spontaneously created in this spirit, and we will all have fun!
