T.K. Blue has assembled some of the brightest stars in jazz to create a scintillating display of musicianship. Taking inspiration from "the Elders", T.K.’s music covers the spectrum of jazz, using the kalimba and Stefon Harris on marimba to recall its African roots, traveling up the Nile, over to Brazil and ending with an intense soul-stirring version of John Coltrane’s Wise One. Features Stefon Harris, Randy Brecker, Lonnie Plaxico and Jeff "Tain" Watts.
