Changing Same was released August 18, 2015 and represented, as Thelma Golden wrote, the “dichotomies of high and low, inside and outside, tradition and innovation” within Black culture and explores the richness and complexity of being black in 21st century America; but the work is connected to various influential classical music and/or personal and cultural memories during my lifetime. This miscegenation is done not in a post-modern sense of ironic collage, but rather as a genuine search to create an organic fusion of artistic and cultural influences, to create a new personal artistic statement that is more than the sum of its parts. This is mixed music.
The album release, thanks to the wonderful work of Amanda @bucklesweet , brought some of my most wonderful press to that date: from an interview on NPR Weekend Edition to the Brooklyn Rail @gtra1n to @beckeresque 21 and several “Best-of-2015” lists.
