November 13th Henry Conerway III - With Pride For Dignity

Jazz drummer Henry Conerway III was raised in a musical family and nurtured by the jazz community of his native Detroit. Throughout the album the sounds of the city can be heard in do-wop riffs and hints of gospel. Conerway is joined on this album by Kevin Smith on bass and Kenny Banks Jr on piano. The album is called With Pride For Dignity. For Conerway the title is both ancestral homage and political self-affirmation in a world that often denies humanity to black people.
