Album Notes & Community Reviews

Trumpeter Hannibal Marvin Peterson's 'The Angels of Atlanta' reflects his blend of spiritual jazz intensity, post-bop technique, and politically charged compositional scope. The album's large emotional register and extended forms place it within the lineage of 1970s spiritual jazz while carrying that language into the early 1980s.
