A soulful cry from 13 people dedicated to Dr. King
An ambitious work paying homage to the civil rights leader, it revolves around fast-paced jazz funk interspersed with poetry readings.
Nathan Davis's sharp saxophone shines brilliantly amid the thick, multi-instrumental ensemble. Donald Henderson's narration throughout the album highlights the ideological background of the songs, leading to a tense jazz-funk sound. Percussion and synthesizer sounds accentuate the soundscape throughout, creating a soundscape that pushes the boundaries of traditional jazz. This album is imprinted with intense expression, sublimating the struggle for freedom into music.
