Vocalist Christine Correa along with her collaborators Sam Newsome, Michael Sarin, Kim Cass and Andrew Boudreau revisit and re-imagine rarely performed compositions by percussionist Max Roach who would be celebrating his centennial in 2024. This music, with lyrics by Oscar Brown Jr, is drawn from Roach’s Freedom Now Suite and Percussion Bitter Sweet recordings of the 1960’s from a period in Roach’s career when he was deeply engaged in the struggle for civil rights and freedoms.
