Recorded at Royal Studios and Abbey Road, this project roots itself in two of music's most storied rooms while bridging the Delta tradition with full orchestral arrangements. Chineke! Orchestra, Europe's first majority Black and minority ethnic orchestra, brings particular weight to that mission, performing blues repertoire that carries deep histories of resilience and expression.
A contemporary blues album performed by Chineke! Orchestra, narrated by Morgan Freeman, and conducted by Martin Gellner, who created all the new arrangements for this project. Recorded between the world-class recording studios: Royal Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, and Abbey Road, this album weaves together powerful cinematic storytelling with live blues and orchestral performances, collaborating with Grammy Award-winning producers, and blues performers. Producers include Lawrence “Boo” Mitchell, a Grammy Award-winning engineer, producer, composer, award-winning movie producer, and owner of Royal Studios in Memphis. He received the 2016 Record of the Year Grammy for “Uptown Funk” and was instrumental in producing the Academy Award-winning soundtrack, Sinners. Performers on this album include the Ground Zero Blues Club Band, Taj Mahal, Keb’ Mo’ and Shemekia Copeland.
