When I Survey The Wonderful Cross

Here's the first single from 'I Insist,' the debut album from saxophonist Kazemde George.
Details: https://lnk.to/IInsist

‘I Insist’ is the debut album from Brooklyn-based saxophonist and composer Kazemde George. The title is a shout-out to Max Roach’s landmark 1960 protest album ‘We Insist! Freedom Now Suite,’ a statement of George’s own determined disposition as a Black American, and an acknowledgement of our turbulent times. Leading a quintet of stellar New York players - vocalist Sami Stevens, keyboardist Isaac Wilson, bassist Tyrone Allen II, and drummer Adam Arruda - the record is a vibrant collection of ten original compositions inspired by George’s interest in music of the African diaspora. “Understanding” features a Cuban changüí-inspired groove. “Haiti” originates from one of George’s own looped electronic beats. Stevens contributes lyrics to the laid-back “Skylight” and the somewhat sorrowful “Happy Birthday,” as well as wordless vocals to three others. The music is unapologetically swinging and fully engaged, whether simmering on a low flame or reaching climactic heights of intensity.

Kazemde George, tenor saxophone

Isaac Wilson, Wurlitzer and piano

Change My Heart Oh God

An elementary and middle school Music teacher of 18 years, I decided that it is time to put down some music while my falsetto still works and while my singing voice is still doing most of what I want it to : ). My major instruments are voice, piano, and sax. I grew up on hymns (literally holding and singing from the hymnal).  It is my goal to record the songs that are closest to my heart-- hymns, praise and worship songs dating back to the 80's, and songs that God has given me since 2003. I pray God touches my music. Otherwise, it's just noise. Thank you for listening.
