Afro-Centric and Black Lives Matter

MANDELA MADIBA, by Phil Morrison

Please enjoy listening to these original tribute songs honoring those distinguished persons in the Black community who should be remembered year-round. I would be happy to email anyone interested in having the music lead sheets for selected songs. (philtrio@gmail.com)

It is fitting that Jazz & Blues which originated in the African American community, be in the forefront of activities celebrating Black Music.
