The cooperative trio 10³²K explores the musical legacy of Delta blues legend Skip James in Hard Time Killing Floor Suite—
a multi-part work commissioned by Lincoln Center and conceived and performed by 10³²K founding members Ku-umba
Frank Lacy (trombone, flumpet, voice), Kevin Ray (bass), and Andrew Drury (drum set). Their special guests are J.D. Allen
(tenor saxophone) and Justin Hicks (voice).
10³²K is known for high-energy live performance and an adventurous repertoire that includes John Coltrane's "Expression,"
Hale Smith's "Feather" [recorded by Eric Dolphy], and compositions by all three members of the trio Air. In this spirit,
Hard Time Killing Floor Suite pays homage to Skip James's oeuvre less by trying to reproduce its outward form than by
dialoguing with it from a 21st century perspective.
