Introduction The purpose of this manual is to provide you with a guide as you watch the video. It contains copies of the examples that appear in the video as well as a few tips on how to digest the materials. It is suggested that you use this manual as you follow along with the video and stop the video at points where you feel you need time to study the example that appears on the screen. There are also spots where the booklet deals with suggestions on how to learn what is being conveyed during the video. In this case you should do the work in the booklet before continuing to watch the video. It is our sincere wish that this course of study will take you to a higher place in your development and provide you with the tools to accomplish this task. Best, Mike Longo

It is significant that the DVD was recorded at the New York City Baha’i Center in the theater known as The John Birks Gillespie Auditorium. This theater was named after Dizzy on January 6th, 2004. This was the first anniversary of his death in 2003. Jazz concerts have been held there every Tuesday night in his honor and continue at the time of this release. Dizzy Gillespie was a member of the Baha’i Faith as is Mike Longo. One of the major principles of this Faith is the concept of the oneness of all peoples. Jazz music has long been associated with this very same principle, proving to be a bridge between all cultures. It is our sincere desire that this

DVD series will contribute to the furtherance of that principle.
