Comin' Up Shouting!

"Fans will be astonished...a brilliant and wide-ranging sampler of African-American religious song...hot, churchy rhythm taken to a fever pitch." The Boston Globe

John Andrew Ross, music director of the National Center of Afro-American Artists and Elma Lewis School of Fine Arts, breathes glorious new life into vintage African-American religious music: heart-rending slave spirituals; vintage gospel; secretly coded songs that the Underground Railway used to aid escaping slaves; and classic hymns of longing and redemption, many of which became anthems for the civil rights movement. Some seasonal material, but this is a record to savor all year. Ross leads the thrilling New England Sprirtual Ensemble and Voices of Black Persuasion.
