Tonight, a concert given at New
York's Knitting Factory Jazz Festival in June by American group Harriet Tubman. Taking their name from the inspirational ex-slave and abolitionist who, after escaping slavery in 1835, went on to help over 300 slaves escape to freedom in the north, this recently formed avantgarde power trio pick up where Bill Frisell 's Power Tools left off in the mid-eighties. The trio consists of Henry Threadgill band member JT Lewis on drums, ex-Power Tools bassist Melvin Gibbs and long-time Cassandra Wilson musical director, guitarist Brandon Ross.
Producers Lyn Champion and Steve Shepherd
