About Me

In poetry, an envoi is a short stanza at the end of a poem used either to address an imagined or actual person or to comment on the preceding body of the poem (courtesy of Wikipedia).
In recorded music, envoi represents a snapshot of a community linked by the Detroit/Ann Arbor area. With some artists still working and creating in this area and others involved in the New York creative music scene, envoi recordings aims to document and perpetuate this meta-community of creative music for the 21st century.
