Civil Disobedience is a project created by NY bassist David Ambrosio that features the progressive jazz composers of the late 60's Blue Note Era, like Bobby Hutcherson, Jackie McLean, Stanley Cowell, Howard Land, Joe Chambers, and James Spaulding. With degrees in classical composition and jazz performance, bassist, composer and bandleader David Ambrosio has created a musical palate enriched by world travel: performing in Cuba with Grupo Los Santos and Max Pollack’s Rumbatap; touring in Central and Southeast Asia as a performer and clinician on behalf of the U.S. State Department; and collaborating with “Sogdiana,” Uzbekistan’s Folk Instru­ments Chamber Orchestra. His extensive credits as a sideman include George Schuller’s Circle Wide, saxophonist Matt Renzi’s trio, and the BMI/New York Jazz Orchestra led by Jim McNeely. Ambrosio convened Civil Disobedience as an artistic response to political events both domestic and global, perform­ing some of the politically conscious jazz compositions of the 1960s originated by artists like Joe Henderson and Bobby Hutcherson.    David Ambrosio – bass, leader Donny McCaslin – tenor saxophone Duane Eubanks – trumpet Bruce Barth – piano Victor Lewis – drums
