**David Ambrosio & Civil Disobedience: Blue Note Records in the Progressive ’60s**

For the past 25 years, David Ambrosio has been one of New York City’s finest freelance musicians and educators. His current project CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: Blue Note Records in the Progressive ‘60s features progressive jazz composers of the late 60’s Blue Note Era, like Bobby Hutcherson, Jackie McLean, Stanley Cowell, Harold Land, Joe Chambers, Duke Pearson and James Spaulding. During a time of important social change and civil unrest, much of this body of work was released decades later and consequently was not heard at the time for when it was written.

Exactly fifty years later in America we are seeing significant parallels in social movements to that era which gives this important music, while unfortunately not heard at the time, a new sense of relevancy.

**CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE** is:

**Donny McCaslin** – tenor, soprano

**Jason Palmer** – trumpet

**Bruce Barth** – piano

**David Ambrosio** – bass

**Victor Lewis** – drums
