VIDEO: Alvin Ailey's THE CALL by Ronald K. Brown
By: Alan Henry Dec. 21, 2018
Ronald K. Brown's joyous mix of modern and African dance-seen previously in Grace, Open Door, and other works-fits the Ailey dancers perfectly, and his themes of spiritual awakening and redemption never fail to inspire.
Music for the piece includes: Trio Sonata No. 6 in G Major by Johann Sebastian Bach performed by Chris Thile, Edgar Meyer, and Yo-Yo Ma; Blues for Timme (Live) from the Mary Lou Williams Trio's album "Live at Nice 'Grande Parade Jazz'"; and The Love from Asase Yaa Entertainment Group's album "Drum Love."
