SUMMARY:American Patchwork Quartet
DESCRIPTION:American Patchwork Quartet (APQ)\, led by multi-GRAMMY® award-winning guitarist/vocalist Clay Ross\, binds timeless American folk songs with jazz sophistication\, country twang\, West African hypnotics\, and East Asian ornamentation. APQ's sound is a masterful confluence of tradition and innovation\, transcending culture\, politics\, and ideology. Their debut was recently nominated for \, "rdquo" -> Best Folk Album" at the 67th GRAMMY® Awards. A southern-born roots music aficionado\, Ross is also the founder of the world-renowned Gullah group Ranky Tanky. In APQ\, Ross intertwines with other Grammy-winning artists: Falguni Shah\, an eleventh-generation Hindustani classical vocalist\, Moto Fukushima\, an internationally acclaimed Issei jazz bassist\, and Rudy Royston\, a renowned jazz drummer whose fibers were honed by African American church traditions. APQ resonates as a potent symbol of unity in diversity. It stands testament to the notion that\, from a collage of varied backgrounds\, a coherent and beautiful whole can be fashioned. Mirroring America's cultural mosaic\, APQ stitches together a story that's both intricate and resilient. The fabric of their music is genuine---it neither feigns tolerance nor presents an overly-embellished image of unity. Instead\, each carefully chosen piece dives deep into America's patchwork soul and shares the joys\, sorrows\, and unwavering hope of a nation crafted by shared dreams and diverse histories. Far from being a haphazard collection of musical scraps\, APQ is a deliberately designed homage to America's past and a showcase of its dynamic present. It beckons listeners to meditate upon our shared identity and relish in the musical threads that bind us. Just as an intricately designed quilt becomes a cherished family heirloom\, when the distinct patterns of APQ's music align in perfect harmony\, the result is both a blanket of warmth and a timeless treasure.
