"Jenkins continually reinvented his own language in music. His was an extraordinary bonding of a variety of sounds associated with the black music tradition, while simultaneously bridging with European styles... as one San Francisco Chronicle critic said, 'Jenkins is a master who cuts across all categories.'" ~ All About Jazz
