PJP MIXTAPES: During the summer of 2019, vocalist Bethlehem, created magic with violinist Jack Drummond, bassist Richard Hill, and drummer Malik Henry. They created a musical experience around the theme of a long walk home. The subtext was that this particular walk happened at Ibo Landing: the historic site where it is believed that an entire shipload of Africans sold into slavery, turned toward the ocean and walked into the waters taking their own lives instead of becoming slaves in America. This brilliant quartet dug into a deep reservoir of spirituality and virtuosity that was potent, moving and inspiring. We share that experience with you in this mixtape... THE LONG WALK HOME.
