About Me

This project is a developing soul-child. Its origins are in the deep South-Alabama and New Orleans-with branches in Boston, NY and L.A. The New Creative Jazz Society is about Soulful expressions rooted in Jazz (America's classical music), other expressions of the African-American community (past-present-future), and inspiring music, art and people the world over. The New Creative Jazz Society (NCJS) is aspiration and ascension in life. Harmony is our vehicle. Intonation, our destination.
