FREE PALESTINE by Nolan Mancl

The history of creative improvised music is a history of resistance to oppression. The pieces featured on this recording follow in that tradition by challenging the status quo and demanding a better world. Cultural revolutions often follow on the heels of artistic ones.

The humanitarian crisis in Palestine is a cause that is dear to me, and it breaks my heart to see the horrific news coming out of Gaza on a daily basis.
