{"product_id":"kazemde-george-i-insist-cd","title":"I Insist (CD)","description":"Kazemde George - I Insist (CD) \u003cbr\u003e Barcode: 186980000879 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Insist is the debut album from Brooklyn-based saxophonist and composer Kazemde George. The title is a shout-out to Max Roachs landmark 1960 protest album We Insist! Freedom Now Suite, a statement of Georges own determined disposition as a Black American, and an acknowledgement of our turbulent times. Leading a quintet of stellar New York players - vocalist Sami Stevens, keyboardist Isaac Wilson, bassist Tyrone Allen II, and drummer Adam Arruda - the record is a vibrant collection of ten original compositions inspired by Georges interest in music of the African diaspora. Understanding features a Cuban chang¸Ì-inspired groove. Haiti originates from one of Georges own looped electronic beats. Stevens contributes lyrics to the laid-back Skylight and the somewhat sorrowful Happy Birthday, as well as wordless vocals to three others. The music is unapologetically swinging and fully engaged, whether simmering on a low flame or reaching climactic heights of intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. Things Line Up \r 2. Coasts\r 3.
