James Brandon Lewis shared this about the album: “The album takes its name and intention from the column that poet and jazz theorist Amiri Baraka wrote for DownBeat in the 1960’s. I was first exposed to Amiri Baraka at Howard University (also Baraka’s alma mater). “Blues People” (Baraka’s groundbreaking 1963 study of Black American music), was required reading. I’m always in constant dialogue with his work. The record itself is a nod to Amiri but mainly a nod to Don Cherry, using Amiri as a branch to really get the conversation going. It’s not a tribute in the sense that we’re playing Don Cherry compositions, but that the music is commenting on his musical curiosity.
