Ten years in the making, this tribute to Curtis Mayfield is a perfect feature for MLK Day, as we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s visionary dream.
Featuring contemporary female and male vocalists, Ledisi and Bilal, with
the WDR Big Band, orchestrated by conductor, Vince Mendoza with guest
musicians, Billy Test (keys), Mike Scott (electric guitar), Will Lee (electric bass),
Jason “JT” Thomas (drums), and Rhani Krija (percussion) – it is more than a
stimulating tribute to Curtis Mayfield’s music, but a reminder of Dr. King’s
vision of racial unity, as the tribute is an artistic construct of such,
exemplified by a culturally diverse band with vocalists and musicians honoring a music legend,
whose music career began during the Civil Rights Movement.
