The session was a continuation of my long-term project entitled That’s NYC jazz, Babe ”. Ras is an incredibly talented jazz musician, double bass player, singer and composer. Entering the stage in one second, he fills the room to the brim with his charisma.

Wynton Marsalis commented on his talent by calling "A Jazz Star of The Future" when he was just 17 years old. I think he was absolutely right.
