William Doran - Refelctions (2024)

Reflections is an album that reflects on the very foundation of this music how the stigmatization of the music started in roots that incorprated asiatic african tradition .
This journey of how government oppression gave birth to a great music that influences all music today . some themes explore the transatlantic crossver so we are seeing the story of how the figures crafted our music.
This is to detract from the pure deception of what histroians call 'dixieland' which is utterly deragatory and a waste of time to describe the african roots of the music. maybe those europeans who settled in america call it that but this is jazz which is coming from africa the blues .
is purely part of the story telling and transference of knowledge and life through the language of this music.
