Tuskegee Experiments

Album Notes & Community Reviews

In his conceptually heavy debut as a bandleader, the virtuosic clarinetist directly confronts the dark history of American medical racism. 'Tuskegee Experiments' weaves angular, deeply complex avant-garde jazz improvisation with spoken word recitations that detail the infamous syphilis study. Byron's masterful technique and uncompromising political vision established him as one of the most vital, intellectual forces in contemporary jazz.
