On Move With Love, Lafayette Gilchrist channels his Baltimore-honed blend of jazz, funk and go‑go into a live set that pulses with communal energy and spiritual urgency. With Gilchrist on keys leading the New Volcanoes—featuring Carl Filipiak on guitar, Leo Maxey on trumpet, Christian Hizon on trombone, Anthony “Blue” Jenkins on bass guitar, Shaquim Muldrow on tenor sax, Kevin Pinder on drums, and Bashi Rose on percussion—the music grooves with a collective intensity rooted in D.C.’s rhythmic tradition. The album is both joyous and defiant, a heartfelt appeal to unity and compassion in turbulent times, interweaving tight horn arrangements and gritty electric piano vamps with deep bottom-end drive. Gilchrist is a visionary bandleader mapping new terrain at the intersection of social conscience and rhythm‑drenched improvisation.
