Still, the "Dean of Afro-American Composers," was part of the Harlem Renaissance. His work combines Classical forms with jazz and blues idioms and was inspired by the rich tradition of African American spirituals. Still hoped that his music would serve a larger purpose of interracial understanding, and this joyous, moving and hauntingly beautiful program - featuring all world premiere recordings - is infused with Still's love of God, country, heritage, and even his mischievous dog Shep.
