Bassist / composer William Parker premieres Trail of Tears Continuum (1492-2019) a new multi-media work tracing the de-evolution of humanity in America. The 90 minute suite is broken into four sections -- “Plantations,” “Reservations,” “Housing Projects,” Prisons” -- and built around new music, libretto, and narrative composed by Parker. Performers include singers Anne Marie Sandy and Raina Sokolov Gonzalez, musicians Hamid Drake, Cooper-Moore, Rob Brown and Steve Swell, and features original poetry by Fred Moten and Tracie Morris.
The piece is also accompanied by film by Parker and Michael Lucio-Sternbach. ...
