A swingin' post bop number pointing out some of the native views on the state of the union.

Artist picture
At this point the band is fundementally a sextet. I'm hoping to release two companion CDs that are right now known simply as Black and Blue.
Award winning composer since the age of 15 and still doing what comes naturally. A pianist now and since early lessons with Oscar Peterson's sister Daisy Sweeney. After a courtship with guitar and bass through a journey of rock and country the natural progression was back to the piano and jazz to form a Canadian band called the jazzmongers! which recorded two CDs and had seen much success via film, television and radio. Just put Ken Skinner or jazzmongers! in a search engine for more on that phase of development.

Story behind the song
I just wanted to write a tune that swings and then it occured to me what I might have been driving at as a statement but still fell into a traditional jazz vibe.
Lyrics
You think you're a native? Well you're wrong there You can argue all you want And I don't care You killed Then you put a church up But this was never Europe My friend
