Do you know my name? Have you seen a trace of the despair that’s hiding there behind the mask on my face? So I hide my scars where you cannot see but do you see a trace of the girl I used to be? I am inside of a world that hates me, that tries to destroy me... my humanity. It’s been five long years walking on these streets the neon lights contrast the darkness of my soul. He told me he loved me the child in me believed him but that child has gone long ago. Now, I’m inside of a world that hates me. But it won’t destroy me... I will be free.

about

“On my first Mack Avenue recording, Rebirth (Billy Childs’ 2017 album which won a GRAMMY® Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album), I wanted to return to a focus on my jazz piano playing,” Childs states. “Acceptance is an extension of that, and the musicians make it very comfortable for me.” Childs thrives on group improvisation and has recruited fellow master musicians—saxophonist Steve Wilson, bassist Hans Glawischnig and drummer Eric Harland—as the core ensemble for this collection: Acceptance. Elena Pinderhughes on flute; vocalists Alicia Olatuja, Aubrey Johnson and Sara Gazarek; and percussionists Rogerio Boccato and Munyungo Jackson complete the stellar lineup on this recording.
