This proximity helped Mayo create a musical path centered around the innovative elements of R&B and Jazz. After receiving his Bachelor’s from the New England Conservatory of Music, Mayo attended the acclaimed Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance, only the third vocalist to be accepted into the 20-year-old program, where he learned from Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Luciana Souza

Poeta, musicista, attivista, scrittore, il chicagoano Gil Scott-Heron è un personaggio leggendario della musica afroamericana, noto e apprezzato dagli appassionati ma anche un po' dimenticato dal pubblico più ampio, forse perché non facilmente riconducibile a un ambito musicale ben preciso --poeta, bluesman e jazzista, viene però considerato antesignano sia dell'hip-hop, sia del rap --e ...
