David Ambrosio Civil Disobedience

Tickets go on sale Feb 6

Civil Disobedience, created by New York bassist David Ambrosio, is a project meticulously crafted to showcase the compositions of progressive jazz maestros from the late 60s Blue Note Era. Also playing: Donny McCaslin - tenor/soprano saxophones, Jason Palmer - trumpet, Bruce Barth - piano, Rudy Royston - drums.

Civil Disobedience pays homage to luminaries such as Bobby Hutcherson, Jackie McLean, Stanley Cowell, Harold Land, Joe Chambers, Duke Pearson, and nJames Spaulding.

In a reflection of an era marked by social upheaval and civil unrest, the compositions that form the core of this project lay dormant for decades, unheard and unappreciated at the time of their creation. Over fifty years later in America we are at a crossroads again, witnessing significant parallels in social movements reminiscent of that transformative era, and It is against this backdrop that the once- overlooked music of the late 60s Blue Note Era gains a newfound relevance.
