The absence of a chordal instrument allows the ensemble to explore the open-ended nature of these folk forms. Bradfield is joined on \"Our Roots\" by four of the premier musicians on the Chicago scene: trumpeter Marquis Hill, trombonist Joel Adams, bassist Clark Sommers and drummer Dana Hall. •\"Geo f Bradfield's writing is a revelation.\" - Neil Tesser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Adam in the Garden \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Clinton Hill \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Yellow Gal \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Black Girl \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Meshell \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Before This Time Another Year \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Dick's Holler (Leadbelly Intro) \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Dick's Holler \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Mbira Song \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Motherless Children \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Take This Hammer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
