Parker's words are further illuminated by deeply sensitive sound design created by likewise devoted artist on the same path, producer and singer \u003cstrong\u003eEllen Christi\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e's music - in its vast scope \u0026amp; range of form - has been an elemental nutrient of countless listeners lives for nigh on five decades. William's words - whether published on page or spoken from the stage - are part of that music. They speak on the beauty of life itself, amplifying the light of life ever-present, even in exceptionally difficult circumstance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs his first artistic expression, Parker began writing as a young person growing up in the South Bronx projects, presenting an alternate perception of often bleak surroundings and living conditions in the neighborhood. This early awareness that there was another way of being in the world has suffused his development into a singularly generous artist and human being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEllen Christi\u003c\/strong\u003e's singing brings that same affirmation in the beauty of life. She \u0026amp; Parker's previous work together, \u003cem\u003eThe Majesty of Jah\u003c\/em\u003e, is a tremendous feature for her voice. That album also includes the track, \"\u003cem\u003eBaldwin\u003c\/em\u003e\", w\/ James Baldwin's ever-powerful words and voice resonating even more profoundly within the sonic architecture created around them by \u003cstrong\u003eChristi\u003c\/strong\u003e. Here, she does the same for the words \u0026amp; voice of \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCD - deluxe 6-panel digipak, printed on heavyweight stock reverse board, 3 additional Bonus Tracks on CD edition.
