How is this for a cool project?

New York-based composer and bassist Matt Geraghty, Brazilian producer and saxophonist Zé Luis, and filmmaker/director Laura Newman are visiting major music hubs on the old trade routes – New York, New Orleans, San Juan, Cuba (and soon Brazil and West Africa) – to document and make music with local musicians.

They arrive in a place and create 21 bands in 21 days being guided by the local musicians themselves.

Their most recent project was 21 days in Cuba.
