The performing ensemble met weekly for two years at LA Confidential, to conjure up their audible magic in a live setting. These esoteric gatherings were only promoted via word-of-mouth & all episodes were beautifully improvised, sans set lists or rehearsals. The result is unexampled. 

At the heart of creative music, there is the language of life, truth, love, tragedy and expression. The therapeutically shared musical catharsis that emanates from Jazz was intimately captured with rich color, texture and solid sound storytelling. A documentary for all to see! -- LeRoy Downs of KJAZZ, 88.1FM
