Rap Legend and actor Ice-T joins musical director and trumpeter Ron McCurdy and his quartet in a brilliant 21st century realization of American icon Langston Hughes’ creative masterpiece, the epic twelve-part jazz poem suite Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz. A homage in verse and music to the struggle for artistic and social freedom at the beginning of the 1960s, Ask Your Mama evokes Hughes’ life and times and a message that resonates as strongly today as ever. A thrilling combination of Jazz and Spoken Word combined with a multimedia presentation, that is sure to entertain.
