Leimert Park: Roots & Branches Of Los Angeles Jazz by the Gathering, self-released in 2008.

The album is the result of a historic recording session and summit brought together on October 10th of 2005 by Jesse Sharps, one of the early bandleaders of Horace Tapscott's Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra. Several well established local musicians such as Ndugu Chancler, Taumbu Ector, Kamau Daáood, Richard Grant, Azar Lawrence, Phil Ranelin, Roberto Miranda, and Michael Session joined members of the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra and young up and coming players on the scene like Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Brandon Coleman, Joey Dosik, Randal Fisher, Nick Rosen, and Kamasi Washington. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson brought in Peter Jacobson, Myka Miller, and Sara Schoenbeck to help round out the woodwinds and strings.
