About this product
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Overcome is a new Dave Douglas recording, alongside vocalists Fay Victor and Camila Meza, trombonist Ryan Keberle, bassist Jorge Roeder, and drummer Rudy Royston, who banded together over a period of months to create a new album of songs. A statement of purpose, an acknowledgement of forebears, and an exhortation to activism, Overcome involves the six musicians in an emotional and powerful statement of human engagement towards justice Racial justice. Climate justice. Voting justice. Gender justice. The project began with a reimagining of the Civil Rights anthem, InchWe Shall Overcome,Inch featuring Victor and Meza each singing a verse before joining for arousing final verse. As Douglas began working on the originals for the album, this unique communal vocal interplay became a key element of three more pieces InchOvercomeInch and InchWhen We Are Together AgainInch are both inspired by the challenges of pandemic isolation; InchGood TroubleInch celebrates activist John Lewis. Victor takes the spotlight on InchPeaceInch as she voices poignant poetry from Langston Hughes. And the free-spirited Royston original InchPerspectiveInch brings a nice balance to the proceedings. This is spirited communal music on a mission. Released direct-to-fan previously, the LP is available worldwide for the very first time. Album Tracks 1. We Shall Overcome 2. Good Trouble, for John Lewis 3. Overcome 4. When We Are Together Again 5. Peace 6. Perspective

Atalaya is the new album by Dezron Douglas and it is alive. Alive in all the ways that jazz is at it's best, and filtered through the time-honored tradition of a combo whose members enforce the law of sonic coherence through musical unity. A multi-headed hydra. Shiva's arms operating independently yet together to realize one goal. Chops so honed that it feels like telepathy, or as Dez puts it InchMysticism, Magic, Faith, Love, Power, Discernment!Inch Regular International Anthem listeners will remember Dezron Douglas his contributions to Makaya McCraven's Universal Beings and from Force Majeure, his sublime duo record with harpist Brandee Younger, which compiled the best of their weekly livestream performances from lockdown 2020. That album reflected the speed and feeling of the moment while somehow simultaneously distracting from the harsh reality of it. Atalaya, similarly, wasn't processed in the lab, but rather, captured in the room. The difference is the energy level. Again, let's defer to Dez here InchWelcome to the Black Lion rocket ship.Inch Welcome indeed. Prepare for liftoff, and watch your head, as the pendulum swings wide on this one. Free and dissonant, sweet and consonant, sweeping and pure. This is the band you hope is playing every time you walk into a club. Album Tracks 1. Atalaya 2. Rosé 3. Coyoacán 4. Luna Moth 5. Wheeping Birch (Feat. Melvis Santa) 6. Jones Beach 7. More Coffee Please 8. J Bird 9. Octopus 10. Foligno
