Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded live at the Garfield Park Botanical Conservatory in Chicago, this electrifying debut perfectly synthesizes contemporary Black liberation politics with spiritual jazz and gospel traditions. Damon Locks directs a 15-piece ensemble of vocalists, percussionists, and dancers through deeply poetic, sample-laced compositions that echo the profound legacy of the Civil Rights era.
