We teamed up with the Sabor! Brass Band out of Atlanta by way of Louisiana and the don, Abdulsamad Tajh of the legendary 80s/90s group The Boys! We covered one of my favorite modern tunes, Ralph Tresvant's "Sensitivity" and I think you all will dig the unique, jazz mash-up that we've concocted! Thank you to brother Larmarrous Shirley for the brilliant art direction and design! Big up to John Beal for his recording expertise, as well as the mix and master! Please share and tell your friends!
