One of the highlights from Marsalis' latest, the VERY satisfying "From The Plantation To The Penitentiary". Haven't heard many jazz musicians get this verbally politically/socially involved in a song in too long a time. Make that many musicians, period (with the exception of Neil Young).Shades of Eddie Harris...
