Lolis Edward Elie and His Fellow Champions--Justice and Music, #3
Sept. 15, 2024
Let me share with you #3 in the Profile of LOLIS EDWARD ELIE that MARYSE and I assembled with the help of Lolis’ son LOLIS ERIC and a skein of the elder Elie’s admirers. Born and based in New Orleans, Lolis Edward was of that generation who WOULD NOT STOP in their reaching for the freedoms and fruitions that they deserved.
You can listen on Bandcamp to interviews and music as you contemplate images. Tracks and artists in #3 include the Dizzy Gillespie Orchestra with Chano Pozo, Thelonius Monk with John Coltrane, Clifford Brown and Max Roach, and the Neville Brothers.
The linked #3 Page on the We Are Revolutions site also features photos by Vivian Maier and Herman Leonard. Please see one by Vivian and one by Herman below.
Our idea with the whole Spiritual as Music series on the We Are Revolutions site is that you may browse as you listen. You may even want to ponder a photo, say, or seek out sources on our Internet to take in more of Chano Pozo, or Clifford Brown, or Rosa Parks, say.
