Four-time GRAMMY-winning, NEA Jazz Master Terri Lyne Carrington and GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Christie Dashiell present We Insist 2025!, a bold reimagining of the seminal 1961 album We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite. Originally created by Max Roach in collaboration with Abbey Lincoln and lyricist Oscar Brown Jr. We Insist! Commemorated the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation and served as a rallying cry during the civil rights movement. Recognized by the Library of Congress and cited among the most essential jazz recordings in history, it's message remains as vital and urgent today as it was when it was released in 1961. Carrington and Dashiell's reimagined version honors this legacy while expanding it's sonic palette, blending jazz with influences from gospel, neo-soul, funk, Afro-Latin, West African, and blues traditions. The album features an extraordinary lineup of musicians, many of whom are Candid recording artists, including Weedie Braimah, Milena Casado, Morgan Guerin, Simon Moullier, and Matthew Stevens. A special guest appearance is made by Julian Priester, the only living musician from the original recording. Together, they breathe new life into Roach's timeless album, infusing it with the spirit of collective improvisation, meditation and joy as forms of resistance.
