A collection of sonic textures reflective of the creative experience.

Each program explores creativity manifest through the expression of jazz, blues, and spoken word with the underlying expression of life experience.

An episode is just under an hour, which only matters if you are time obsessive. It's OK to do housework or other things while listening; but if you sit still and close your eyes, who knows what you might find within the music.
