About this user

The group features drummer Marcus L. Miller supported by a talented cast of musical artists. The group is a jazz based ensemble (quartet or quintet), or at times performs with Miller as a solo accompanist for the poetry and dance. The music rooted in the traditions of American Jazz with West-African and Afro-Cuban rhythmic influences...real FOLK music. Freedom Jazz Movement has performed at such venues as the Charles & Harriet Luckman Theatre, The Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, The John Anson Ford Theatre, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, and appeared at various festivals and events throughout the county of Los Angeles. The debut CD, "Los Angeles View Suite", was composed for a world premiere dance by choreographer Lula Washington at L.A.'s Dance Kaleidoscope (1998). The music reflects many of the sounds and rhythms heard throughout various sectors of Los Angeles. The group's discogaphy also includes their second release, "It's Miller Time", a collage of Miller's musical thoughts, moments, and inspirations released in 2003. The third album is entitled "Body, Soul, & Spirit"(2005). Back Again (2007) is the latest project, but the next is just around the corner. Freedom Jazz Movement exists to give back to those who have come before us. By playing rhythms with ancient ties, we "Keep Spirits Alive". Their hearts beat as the drum pounds, and their spirit illuminates through the movements of the dancer, and the stories told make you reflect on just how far we have come.
