(1982)

 

The splendor of nature’s elements come alive

to celebrate the birth of my beloved niece, Nia Keii.

Music: Joe Sample

​

(14 minutes)

​

"The program opened with Jeff’s lyrical 1982 work, “Nia Keii – A Gift of Life,” an evocation of the natural world set to the fluid jazz piano of Joe Sample. With its expressive use of arm movements and contractions it was winningly danced."
