Civil Disobedience is a project created by NY bassist David Ambrosio that features the works of progressive jazz composers of the late 60’s Blue Note Era including: Bobby Hutcherson, Jackie McLean, Stanley Cowell, Harold Land, Joe Chambers, Duke Pearson and James Spaulding. During a time of important social change and civil unrest, much of this music went unreleased until decades later.  As a result, these compositions were not heard at the time or for the times they were written.

Now, fifty years later, America is seeing significant parallels to the social movements of that era which gives this important music a new sense of relevancy and urgency.  Civil Disobedience was conceived and convened as an artistic response to current political events – domestic and global.
