A Convergent Groove

FED Global Jam Continues with a Giant Step Retrospective

Were you there in the beginning? Magic moments. Kindred spirits across time and space, in space, sharing culture and community. Organic community. It’s all about the music. Remember IRL?

Giant Step in the 1990s played a major role in a lot of people’s lives—mine included. Played a major role in hop hop, in jazz, in dance, in fashion, in poetry. In the future. Even if you weren’t there. In real life.

FED invites you to feast on this little BIG video. We hope it inspires you to do some in-real-life, organic, community-making of your own. We have more in common than you think. Dance. Create. Come together. It’s a human groove to converge.

When we open our minds... Anything can happen. Sometimes, it does. Magic.

Big love, Ashley ❤️

P.S. Most phrases in this intro have been sampled from the video. Watch for original power. Then, remix into your day, and make it your own. It’s a human groove.


FED’s Global Jam Session is curated by musician, producer, and founder-director of MOMENT NYC, Genji Siraisi. Genji also contributed original tracks and more to FED’s inaugural season, which you can check out here: 3 Organic Music Cuts Served with a Free-range Emotion Medley & a Word Salad, Infused with Young Feels and Matured Memories and Genji’s Shepherd’s Pie, a Family Recipe.
