the Territory

The Territory is a suite for jazz ensemble inspired by the idea that topography and watershed, cycles of eruption, erosion, flood, and drought, along with human stories of hope, disaster, courage, profligacy, promise, and betrayal create a vibration—an ethos even—that is real. It rises from the land itself and connects natives and transplants alike.

the ruby bridges suite

TOGETHER WE CANNOT BE BROKEN.
UP FROM THE BITTER PAST WE RISE
TO BUILD A WORLD WHERE PEACE IS SPOKEN
THE TIME IS NOW. AT LAST WE RISE.
