A Civil Rights Reader Feb 9, 2007 (18 years ago) Library of Congress Washington, D.C., United States
Dedicated to creating socially and politically conscious music, DBR blends funk, hip-hop and classical music to create a personal sonic vision that critics have described as revolutionary. Rich with cultural references, his works range from classical scores and energetic chamber works to rock songs and electronica.
A Civil Rights Reader collects four of DBR’s string quartets celebrating four iconic figures from the American Civil Rights Movement: Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and Maya Angelou. Performers include DBR as bandleader and violinist as well as special guest DJ Scientific on turntables and laptop. The SQ Unit is comprised of Earl Maneein (violin), Jessie Reagen (cello), Matthew Szemela (violin) and Jon Weber (viola).
