Bobby Akbar-Aleem (soprano saxophonist):

I was blessed to witness her on multiple occasions in one loft or another. Her music was deeply felt by all. I created with her in various lofts and such settings of mental openness to the art. She inspired me to find the feeling within myself and give voice to it in the music.

[Akbar-Aleem is asked to describe their approach to collaboration.]

We created in the same time and space, if you choose to categorize that as collaboration. I drew inspiration from the truth in her music, and I attempted to bring my own truth to the experience.

[Akbar-Aleem is asked to describe how Geffel responded to his contributions as a collaborator.]

We were united on the plane of emotion. We did not concern ourselves with the technicalities of musical structures or notes. We did not listen to one another in the historical sense. I had awareness that the sound of my instrument appeared to disturb her. This was her truth. My truth was mine.
