This song is written in admiration and love for my friend, the vocalist, composer and educator Imani Uzuri. The lyrics are not directed at her, but they would be words of wisdom she could have (and probably has) said. Imani is a person who fully engages the world, living out her understanding and emotions fully, and creating manifesting a vision that reflects her level of engagement with reality. She has taught me many things about the complexity of humans - about intersectionality, about the meaning of life, about a path towards feeling whole and honest.
lyrics
Walk by the sea
You know how I feel
Walk by the sea
She knows what I feel
Bury the past
The harrowing feelings
Can never last
You know what I mean
You know who I mean
And throughout the days
He’d throw me away
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
I mean, that when you walk alone
You aren’t really all alone
I mean that when you walk away
You aren’t really all alone
I mean, that when you feel alone
You’re part of all that’s ever known
I mean that, when you walk alone
You’re part of all who’ve ever grown

María Grand, voice and tenor saxophone; Fabian Almazan, piano
Enthralling approach to reinvent a progressive, chamberish "jazz'n-3rd-stream" that doesn't need to demonstrate its given muscles or virtuositiy. Very unusual but accomplished compositions, that remain digestable inspite of all complexities. Clear and very colourful sound - jazz4tet + string4tet + vox5tet !?!! Really ADORABLE. ROWIAL
This new LP from Evan Shay offers up irresistible takes on future funk and jazz, with a clear dance music undercurrent. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 5, 2020
Moving jazz forward in novel way, an innovative way. The creative juices are in full swing as Linda and the band of first rate musicians, including pianist and label owner, Fabian Almazan perform to their heart's delight giving the listener something special they can savor. The Biopholia is also an incredible work of art and worth having as a nice collector's item. Rob O.
