Trumpeter Malachi Thompson merges hard bop, free, African rhythms, and gospel stylings on this release. Lift Every Voice is reminiscent of what drummer Max Roach did with his regular band in collaboration with the J.C. White Gospel Singers in the 1970s (his album was also called Lift Every Voice), but Thompson has added some intriguing personnel and rhythmic elements. He uses four trumpets and trombonists, plus a bassist, drummer, two percussionists, and eight singers on the title track.
