The incredible talent and versatility of the musicians of the Jazz Rock Fusion era in American Music collectively transcended the boundaries of contemporary Jazz forever. Breckerville continues to push the musical boundaries by embellishing on the complex improvisational, rhythmic, and harmonic writings through jazz educational events and live performances.
