Denys Baptiste - 'Now is the Time… Let Freedom Ring'

MOBO Award-winning hard bop saxophonist Denys Baptiste leads a 14-piece band, alongside an 80-strong choir and poetry by Lemn Sissay to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech. Baptiste demonstrates his phenomenal command of tone and timing in this two set extravaganza, which looks at the first half of the 1963 speech in the first set and the second half in the second, the latter of which will feature poetry by Nigerian writer Ben Okri.
