The Philadelphia Jazz Project has been invited to remount our exciting Martin Luther King performance at The Museum of the American Revolution. We Shall: A Lyrical MLK Celebration is an engaging intermingling of spoken word, singing and instrumental music paying tribute to one of America’s greatest citizens and thinkers, Rev.

We Shall: A Lyrical MLK Celebration is a different approach to the MLK presentation.

It is an affirmation and a statement that emerges out of the will for self-determination.

We Shall: A Lyrical MLK Celebration is a combination of poetry, song and improvisation. It is a faith song, ...a praise song, ...a fight song, ... a love song.
