[‘the blossom of parting’ performed by Branford Marsalis, composed by Joey Calderazzo. a beautiful song by two of the artists in residence at my last university, nccu, while i was a vocal jazz major. the entire album, ‘metamorphosen’ was completed in 2009 before my short attendance but was gifted to me from my oldest brother, Blu, right before my birthday. enjoy].

This is a song from Afraid of Heights called Numb that I was recorded playing on my Fender Rhodes. Living in Chicago, you always see tons of homeless people everywhere, and one day I just wondered what it would be like to write from their perspective.
