Jinjee:
I grew up in a musical household. My Father was a professional music arranger, composer, and pianist. I grew up studying classical piano. When Storm and I met at music school I had been studying jazz music for many years but I was seeking a new kind of music. I experimented with many different genres including avant garde jazz, world music of different cultures from Brazilian to Celtic, new age, alternative, and folk. One day I was playing piano in the practice rooms at SBCC when Storm walked in and put some music in front of me. We played. I was puzzled because his timing was totally bizarre. It turned out he had taught himself to read notes but not the timing of the notes and he had actually learned many standard songs dead wrong because of this. I was in "snob mode" for sure. I tolerated Storm only because one of my teachers had admonished me to take every opportunity to play music with all different kinds of musicians. But one day we started playing music without paper infront of us, just improvising, and the most amazing music came out. It was like our energies just matched in harmony and it was truly as if something very special was literally being birthed between us.
