Voilà une fantastique réunion de grandes femmes de la scène en première à Montréal. Reprenant le flambeau des musiciennes militantes Miriam Makeba, Abbey Lincoln et Odetta, le trio de superbes voix entend bien clamer haut et fort la défense des droits civils. Au menu, des pièces originales sûres, mais aussi des mélodies tirées d'un héritage jazz, folk et blues qui ont inspiré les Dylan, Springsteen et Joplin, léguées par trois grandes dames récemment disparues, ainsi que des airs de Billie Holiday, de Marvin Gaye ou... d'Erikah Badu ! Autour de ce trio qui unit l'art et la bonne cause, cinq musiciens, dont la magnifique pianiste polyvalente Geri Allen et la batteuse Terri Lyne Carrington. Bref, la promesse d'une soirée mémorable !
