Tribute to Mentors of the Arts.(The new World Stage).
Growing up in Compton; Music was in our diet thanks to my parents & the radio.(KBCA 105)
Louis Thomas, Troy Robinson John Outerbridge come to mind. Troy & John opened the Communicative Arts Academy & later moved to the Watts Towers.(This was the place we rehearse to prepare for Festac77)
I'd like to homage & give thanks to people inspired me to want to be a part of music or the musical experience. Although , to many to name Billy Higgins Harold Land , Henry Franklin, James Leary ,Wayne Vaughn , Billy Childs, Gip Noble all the cats I grew up playing w/.
I left Los Angeles 1993 for a tour in Singapore. It was very timely for me as there was sparse work after the L.A. Riots of 1992. Never plan to stay or live there ; it was the blessing I needed to continue playing my instrument. So, its so nice to be able to come from Singapore back home after the 2 years we've endured after the pandemic. I want to thank Dwight Trib(b)le & all who made it possible for the World Stage to serve the Arts to the people from the neighborhood & to the world.
.
Thank you, Warmest Regards,

Our song list will contain standards that we like or may some way inspired us. It is important to be simple, so that we can share the most music we can. So, we won't play original material this concert series; as rehearsal schedules do not permit. We will chose from this list; some of these compositions.
