Jesse will create live visuals for Wadada Leo Smith’s Rosa Parks Oratorio<\/a> at The Kitchen in New York City, April 26-28, 2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wadada Leo Smith<\/strong>‘s\u00a0Rosa Parks: Pure Love. An Oratorio of Seven Songs<\/em>\u00a0pays tribute to Rosa Parks for an action that, in Smith’s own words,”generated a movement worldwide for liberty and justice for human beings.\u201d Through composition, Smith expresses his philosophical and spiritual narrative about his vision of this legendary figure. Embedded in the oratorio are brief excerpts from early recordings by Smith, Anthony Braxton, Leroy Jenkins, and Steve McCall, the four musicians who made up the legendary ensemble known as the Creative Construction Company. The oratorio is concerned with Smith’s ideas and meditation on the Civil Rights movement, reconnecting history to the present through lighting, photographs, and video images.<\/p>\n
