Love to King

Bobby Hutcherson and Harold Land, "Procession", from San Francisco (1970).
Joe Sample's piano gets right to your tender soul.  

"We have come to the day when a piece of freedom is not enough for us as human beings nor for the nation of which we are a part.  We have been given pieces, but unlike bread, a slice of which does not diminish hunger, a piece of liberty no longer suffices.  Freedom is like life.  You cannot be given life in installments.  You cannot be given breath but not body, nor heart but no blood vessels.  Freedom is one thing - you have it all, or you are not free."

Martin Luther King, Jr. Address to the National Press Club, July 19, 1962.

Joy Music
