 tists Dana and Alden Jazz duo Dana & Alden have always had a wanderlust\, 
 something they credit to their maternal grandfather. Affectionately known 
 as Papa\, he was the kind of person others naturally gravitate towards. It
  was a photograph from one of his trips to Asia that inspired the Eugene\,
