about

This is a composition written in memory of Ronald Shannon Jackson an American jazz drummer and composer from Fort Worth. I briefly played in Shannon's band The Decoding Society and we both had studios in the infamous NYC Music Building where i would visit him on and off for some 4 years. Shannon was all about Spirit, he took the top of my head off and really showed me another musical universe, he was fierce, kind, had amazing stories and viewpoints to tell and could play like thunder and lightning. i loved his tone and his unbelievable sense of rhythm, i loved his spirit and considered him a friend and mentor. He died on October 19th 2013, on a full moon called the Travel Moon or the Hunters Moon and may the sun never set on his music.
