Alter Destiny: A Survivor’s Guide by Thomas Stanley
“Sun Ra gave us an idea about human development beyond the myriad racist, patriarchal, violent and often Eurocentric progressivisms that have plunged our planetary home into chaos, bloodshed and ecological catastrophe.

“Amina Claudine Myers came into my life through the study of the history and legacies of creative music.

As a composer and musician, she is defined by her voracious appetite for sonic discovery and is just as ambitious as her celebrated compatriots. Her sound as a pianist and organist is rooted in the Southern Baptist church.”
