Through Antoine Roney, the melodies of bebop and jazz expression and modern ideologies of music will be upheld as his sound will be the spearhead of the band's sound. Buster Williams, the roots of rhythmic and melodic areas of jazz. His presence will shape the body of the musical experience as well as keeping the authenticity of what Jazz is as a culture and a music. Nia Love, Movement artist/Modern Contemporary Dancer mirrors the merge of Music and Dance.
