SFCJLA's music is a fusion of Classical, Avant Garde and Bop, with Tibetan soul featuring Conventional Jazz instrumentation, and Tibetan Percussion. The entire ensemble plays Tibetan instruments. Our muses are Bill Evans, Messian, Bartok, played with uncanny intensity. The Ambience is hip, Arty, historic, and the music is played with fire and virtuosity. Achingly personal intensity, at once romantic yet music of the spheres.

Myrna Daniels of LA JAZZ SCENE writes"Authentic Jazz Sensibility that's so understated- but oh so hip and knowing."
