On piano, flute, percussion, or as a writer, arranger and group leader, this mixed blood son of Africa, in working with musicians from 16 different countries, provides a taste of everything that can groove. In paying his respects to the music and cultures that have influenced him, it makes sense that this debut album reflects just that, thus the "menu" of music spiced with Jazz, Hilife, Latin & Funk.

African influences on musical developments in Jazz, Gospel, Blues, Rock, Funk, Pop, Rap, Latin and Dance have never been far from the spotlight. George Makinto, born to a Liberian mother and German father, is an insturment himself. On piano, flute, percussion, or as a writer, arranger and group leader, this mixed blood son of Africa, in working with musicians from many corners of the globe, provides a taste of everything that can groove. Is it World? Is it Jazz? Often in World music, an entire album is devoted to a specific style, color or sound. Because Makinto is also paying his respects to the music and cultures that have influenced him, it makes sense that this debut album reflects just that, thus the "menu" of music spiced with Jazz, Hilife, Latin & Funk and contributions of musicians from 16 different countries.
