Orbert Davis' Chicago Jazz Philharmonic: SOUL MIGRATION

Composed by Orbert Davis, “Soul Migration” is a powerful, soul-stirring, musical tribute inspired by the stories of the 6 million African Americans who fled the Jim Crow south to the industrial north.

A seven-movement epic across time and space, Soul Migration celebrates the consciousness of a people and the enduring communities that they built.
