This is an examination of a guy from Harlem and his relationship to jazz. It shows what jazz can mean to someone who's not basically a musician but who 'lives on that music' a lot... In terms of feeling, these guys knew a lot about jazz. Jazz helps the man in this piece hear himself, the way he is and feels, and every note becomes a part of him as he is now and as he'd like the world to be. Jazz says a lot of things for him and helps him be at one with himself. Melvin Stewart about 'Scenes In The City' (from liner notes)
