Artist History I originally conceived New Perspective in 1994 to fuse together the jazz I had studied in school with the R&B, funk and hip hop that I listened to growing up in Evanston. Currently, my goal for New Perspective is simply to combine my experiences (which in clude my influences) with my enjoyment of performing for people in the present moment. As the courses of two different days or two different conversations are never the same, no two New Perspective shows will ever be the same. Our history of music spans f rom our first lesson on our instrument to whatever happens to be on our minds en route to a gig.
