Vurdering: 3/5

"Consider Charles a very socially and culturally attuned artist in the vein of Abbey Lincoln and Betty Carter. One of the clear highlights is her interpretation of "Freedom Day,", from Max Roach's iconic 1961 protest album We Insist! Freedom Now Suite, which originally featured Abbey Lincoln. This version, with Charles absolutely wailing, comes more than sixty years later but is just as importantly relevant. It features atmospheric drums, a striking bass feature, and Adjuah's pizzicato-like string tones on his Adjuah Bow, a self-designed string instrument modeled on the African kora and n'goni enhanced with electronic effects ... The album is both cathartic and spiritual., a progressive vocal effort from an artist with a limitless imagination"
