Justin Varnes – CD “Survival Instinct The EVILution Of The Pack”
Survival Instinct: the Evilution of the Pack is an album designed to highlight a specific but basic human instinct that causes us to be violent toward each other while highlighting ways to conquer these tendencies and bring us together.” – Justin Varnes
Justin Varnes is a jazz drummer, composer, and person of conscience. His new CD is 10 tracks of music that take the listener through their own ins and outs coming around to a resolution of wholeness. The music was all recorded in one-take live performances, no overdubs. It’s like being in a really great club hearing a super tight band of musicians who love playing together.

Justin’s insights mirror some of my own. The polar divides are manufactured and forced by media. “We are a lot more alike than we thought”. Over here we have people dividing because of their politcal colours when the same people often have polar opposite views and political stances to their parents, grandparents and other people who they love. It’s a contradiction that with just a little thought can bring the poles together. Justin’s music is inspiring and this podcast held my attention throughout.
