Stefon Harris / The Grand Unification Theory
"For the past two years, I've been all over the place - not only
with travels, but also with my imagination. I've been studying poetry,

[Spanish]. So, I've had a lot of different focuses outside of music, and
I wanted to use this piece as an opportunity to bring all these things
together."

not necessary for me to improvise. Just playing the song - the 'head,'
as we say - can be quite emotionally charged, particularly on a pretty,
