ALVIN BATISTE!
We are sometimes blessed, beyond all imagination, when our paths are led to intersect with One Phenomenal Spirit that will forever change our lives...our way of thinking...our perspective on all things. For me, that incredible Soul is Alvin Batiste: Legendary Jazz Master, Renaissance Man, TEACHER. One of the most extraordinary humans I've ever known! Having been blessed with the opportunity to Know him, Love him, and call him friend/family has changed Me for all time. My gratitude to him, and his beautiful wife and soulmate, Poet Edith Chatters-Batiste, will remain firmly in place....always. I miss you, Bat!
"Jazz is--
the justification of being
the ascension of the soul,
the zeal of spirit
and the zest of life."
--Edith C. Batiste
