Album Notes & Community Reviews
Completed by her bandmates following the trumpeter's tragic passing in 2022, this album serves as an incredibly vibrant and defiant final statement. The compositions are explosive, weaving punk rock energy and global folk rhythms into highly improvisational, politically charged avant-garde jazz. It is a triumphant, deeply emotional encapsulation of her fiercely unique musical spirit.
