I learned to score & notate music from my late iconic dad Eddie Durham (1906-1987)
He drove my band "Creative Collection" to our shows, the first of which was opening at a neighborhood festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), a show produced by Popsie & The Brotherhood Express.
EDDIE DURHAM's last recorded CD: BLUE BONE
