"Afro-Algonquin began as a project I started back in the 1970s. Its original intent was to celebrate the fusion of Afro-American and Indigenous music of the Americas. Today I have expanded the concept to embrace full the Atlantic World (the Americas, Africa, Europe and the various fusions of these cultures overtime). Resulting in Indigenous to Bebop, Conga to Funk, Ragtime to no time, music that freely spans styles and labels driven by the inner pulse of creativity that we call jazz." - Mixashahn Rozie
