When Chuck performed in Poland for the 1999 Film and Jazz Festival, his composition "Children of Sanchez" brought the audience to its feet. Unbeknownst to the composer, the piece had become somewhat of an anthem during the struggle for democracy and many in the audience were in tears, holding their hands over their hearts.A jazz musician from Rochester, NY, writes a song for a film about Mexicans that becomes an anthem of freedom for the people of Poland.
Music is a universal language.
