David Ake - Humanities by Anna Yatskevich

Pianist, composer, and scholar David Ake’s latest musical work is titled Humanities (Posi-Tone 2018). This album musically reflects Ake’s latest chapter of his life, including his move from Cleveland to Miami in 2015, as well as his ruminations on the importance of critical thinking in the current “post-truth” political climate. As with his previous Posi-Tone releases, Bridges (2013) and Lake Effect (2015), Ake collaborates with the some of jazz’s highest caliber musicians: Ralph Alessi on trumpet, Ben Monder on guitar, Drew Gress on bass, and Mark Ferber on drums.
