Harriet Tubman - Araminta (2017) [Hi-Res]

Harriet Tubman's recording 'Araminta' is about becoming. The group's lengthy association has allowed for an instinctive musical relationship among the members, who have affiliations with music and musicians spanning genres and the globe. Together, their music is a cumulative repository of their musical influences, a sort of transcendental blues. For 'Araminta', the trio invited the astounding trumpet player and musical conceptualist Wadada Leo Smith to add his unique sensibilities to their musical world as an electric improvisatory group. Each member has his own approach to music, whether it be in motion, gesture or space. Their history comes through in the music they play, which spans nearly 50 years of black music. What does freedom and equality sound like? Harriet Tubman are on a mission to inform the world and, with the addition of the great Wadada Leo Smith the ensemble proves that they have all the sonic information needed to be the next step in Black music's evolution.
