At first glance, it would appear that big Afros and smooth jazz have nothing in common. But pianist Morgan Bouldin delivers an eclectic mix of shaggy hair, pretty smiles and good times inexplicably linking these odd bedfellows while showcasing one of his signature songs, My Groove. Afro images abound, small, large, curly, shaking and twisted, all inspiring the true meaning of the word groovy.

Relax and enjoy the music that tells your story.
