Afro-Centric Music Honoring Black Luminaries & Articles that Relate to Black History!


Please enjoy listening to these original tribute songs honoring those distinguished persons in the Black community who should be remembered year-round.  I would be happy to email anyone interested in having the music lead sheets for selected songs. (philtrio@gmail.com)
It is fitting that Jazz & Blues which originated in the African American community, be in the forefront of activities celebrating Black Music.
