Description
Steve Frieder @friedblues is a saxophonist and multi-wind instrumentalist who composed "Paul's Promise" a dedication to Paul Robeson and the story of the Peekskill Riots of 1949. He tells the story through six original movements, all of which were composed, performed, recorded, and released by himself. Steve was generous enough to not only meet with us to discuss his work in making the EP, but he also granted permission for his compositions to be included in the soundtrack of the Peekskill Riots docu-series which covers these events in great detail. It is truly a pleasure to be able to collaborate with artists of all backgrounds and expressions to share this important story.
Paul's Promise can be found wherever you stream music (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc) but please support Steve by going to his website SteveFrieder.com and his Bandcamp (Steve Frieder).
