“You know, I think that our job is to basically bring people out of the dark times they feel like they’re in. This music is the best way to do that, because there is nothing, there is no filter - It comes straight from the Creator to us to you. 
And when it’s in its purest form it’s just when it’s most effective I think. And that’s when people can really understand what it’s like, you know, to be a really great human.” - Roy Hargrove
