Stephen Chin Sextet - Panorama
Channel: Stephen Chin
Date: 2019-06-09

This is the second of four songs in a project that examined the crossover of Jazz and Hip Hop in contemporary music. The set follows the coming of age of a young Black boy's experience through an artistic view of DuBois' theme of Double Consciousness. Narration from James Baldwin.

The second tune in the set, Panorama, was composed with the intention of emulating the styles of Braxton Cook and Alfa Mist. This is the first tune that I wrote as part of the coming of age trilogy. The lyrics are based around learning about history, and how one must learn what it means to be Black in America, culturally and historically.
