The grant will enable New Muse 4tet to record new music, building off of the successes of their debut album, Blue Lotus. The grant will also enable coaching sessions from jazz pianist and composer Michele Rosewoman, helping New Muse 4tet build new works through the lenses of jazz composition and Caribbean folkloric idioms.
