Civil Disobedience Album Release at Joe's Pub

Joe's Pub / NY / Map

Album release event for Civil Disobedience:Blue Note in the Progressive 60's. The brainchild of bassist-bandleader David Ambrosio, this project revisits a powerful but largely overlooked body of music written by Black jazz composers in the late 1960s Blue Note era in response to the civil rights movement and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Many of these compositions—instrumental works of protest and reflection—were released decades after they were written and never received wide attention. Civil Disobedience brings this music back into focus through new performances that highlight both its historical significance and its striking relevance today.
