Drummer/composer Pheeroan akLaff believes that his music is driven by ritual and imagination. He has contributed to creative music and interdisciplinary mediums since 1976, building arts to give thanks and work for change. He has performed and recorded with a voluminous list of artists including Wadada Leo Smith, Oliver Lake, Anthony Davis, Amina Claudine Myers, Henry Threadgill, Sonny Sharrock, Yamashita Yosuke, Jay Hoggard, Liu Sola, Andrew Hill, James Newton, Anthony Braxton, and Don Byron, and many others. akLaff’s 1998 album Global Mantras wove a web of artistry referencing the cultures of Asia while reflecting on the African-American experience. With this quartet he’ll premiere new works that re-examine Paul Robeson’s worldwide legacy and impact.
