When times are tough, injustice is in the air, and something needs to be said, jazz always finds a way to do the talking. In times past, it was Billie Holiday singing "Strange Fruit" at Cafe Society, drummer Max Roach and vocalist Abbey Lincoln pouring their hearts out on We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite (Candid, 1960), bassist Charles Mingus railing against injustice with soul stirring epics, and bassist Charlie Haden sermonizing with his Liberation Music Orchestra; today, it's bassist Alexis Cuadrado looking through a Lorca lens of his own creation.
