For the spirit of recently departed elder, South African master percussionist Louis Moholo-Moholo:
A circular Excursion will present music that emanates from three parts of the African continent: Gnawa trance music of Morocco, Afro pop from Nigeria, and Jazz from South Africa. Completing our diasporic ring shout, Terri Lyne Carrington & Christie Dashiell reimagines Max Roach/OscarBrown Jr’s 1960 “Freedom Now! Suite” with “We Insist 2025!” Thus, the circle remains unbroken.
