CD/DIGITAL OUT NOW!

Listen to the singles "Throw It Away" & "Mutuality"

This limited edition CD, recorded during the SFJAZZ Collective’s four-night residency in October 2021 on the Miner Auditorium stage at the SFJAZZ Center, documents new works from the all-star ensemble, addressing racial injustices, the global pandemic, and the unprecedented political polarization and upheaval we are currently facing in our daily lives. Additionally, the album includes fresh new approaches to a selection of classic songs associated with peace, freedom, and social commentary, including Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” the classic anthem “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and “Throw it Away” by Abbey Lincoln.

Featuring 11-tracks, this CD release contains a 24-page booklet with exclusive photos, liner notes, article by Marcus Crowder, and insight from the Collective members on their arrangements.
