Sifu Derek Johnson also known as (Cheung Tai Lik Sifu) started learning Kung Fu from his late
Master Dean Chin (Chun Yuk Juen) in Washington DC Chinatown. Derek's primary instructor in Dean Chin's school
Sifu Deric Mims center
was Sifu Deric Mims, who was one of the senior instructors in the school. Master Chin passed away in 1985. Master Kong's own Sifu was Grand Master Hung Tai Wai, who graciously accepted Derek into their family.
Please Translate in comments below
Derek Johnson's Grand Master or Si Gung is Chan Man Cheungof Hong Kung. So that Cheung Tak Lik could continue learning Jow Ga Kung Fu, Chan Man Cheung introduced him to his next teacher Master Kong Yu Choi of the Jow Biu Chinese Boxing Association Hong Kong. Master Kong Yu Choi did not freely accept students at this time, but fortunately accepted Derek Johnson as his pupil and instructed him for many years while refusing to accept any fee for his teachings.
Derek is the Director of Jow Ga Kung Fu Athletic Association, which has one branch in the United States and another in Krakow Poland. Read more here...

I think the idea is now for blacks to write about the history of our music. It's time for that, because whites have been doing it all the time.

I strongly believe that technology is here to help the art form, not to overwhelm it, but tragically, with a very few, each day more and more scarce exceptions, the invention of the microphone, that is credited to the German Emile Berliner in 1876

Benny Sharoni, an Israeli-born, Boston-based tenor saxophonist, can energize even the largest, most lackluster venue with his big-toned sound and ebullient phrasing, packed with intense emotion and spirituality, a vibrant hybrid of the hip and the holy."
2015 LAKE ARBOR JAZZ FESTIVAL
LAKE ARBOR COMMUNITY CENTER GROUNDS
MITCHELLVILLE, MD
Put it this way: Jazz is a good barometer of freedom… In its beginnings, the United States of America spawned certain ideals of freedom and independence through which, eventually, jazz was evolved, and the music is so free that many people say it is the only unhampered, unhindered expression of complete freedom yet produced in this country.~~~Duke Ellington
MASTER CLASS
His sounds were mellow soft and warm...
You'll feel his spirit hum a long...
John Coltrane, played love and magic....
Listen to the message of his song ~~~
