O’s Notes: Emancipation is a collection of Postmodern Spirituals set to modern jazzy, funky beats. The music and lyrics are composed, arranged and produced by Tyrone Birkett (sax). Paula Ralph Birkett adds beautiful vocals to the music. Both are synchronized with the messages of The Promised Land. Gregory Royals (p), Reggie Young (b) and Jason Patterson (d) are the rest of a solid core band accentuated by guest artists on several selections. The message in the music is clear and worthy of visiting repeatedly.
