TransAtlantic Journey is the highly anticipated, interdisciplinary narrative album, conceived by musician, theologian and psychologist, Dr. Jerome C. Crichton. The acclaimed project redefines how Black music heritage is appreciated and how the history of enslaved people is understood. This timely release is more than an album—it is a research-based and carefully curated tribute to the resilience, artistry and cultural contributions of all who endured the horrors of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Dr. Crichton has also woven the personal history of his own ancestors into every chord, as each album track conveys their Atlantic Ocean journey from Africa to the Americas, and his own journey over the Atlantic Ocean from England to New England, through Afro Fusion Jazz orchestrations.
Depreciation is a way of allocating the cost of the asset over its expected usable life by expensing a portion of the cost over several years.
