Harriet Tubman: The Band have long been pioneers in the furthering of creative music. Blending elements of jazz, rock, funk and progressive music, the Trio consisting of guitarist Brandon Ross, bassist Melvin Gibbs and drummer JT Lewis has always strove to push the boundaries of musical expression. Ascension finds Harriet Tubman with the addition of guests, trumpeter Ron Miles and turntablists DJ Logic and DJ Singe, as they pay homage to the large ensemble works of John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman.
