Cathy Segal-Garcia’s Social Anthems: Volume 2 is a powerful follow-up to her first installment, blending jazz with socially conscious themes in a way that feels both timely and timeless. The tunes selected again tap into the tradition of songs that tap the sense of change needed in the world. Joining Segal’s vocal contribution on this album of outstanding performances is an array of talented players, including Nick Mancini on vibes, William Brahm on guitars, Alex Boneham, David Pilch and John Leftwich on bass, Steve Hass, Joy Bellerose and Chris Wobich on drums. The production is also propelled by guest performances by vocalists Mon David and Paul Jost. With its wonderfully nuanced arrangement of these prescient themes, this recording is a true gem.
