Anderson,Clifton - Been Down This Road Before (Sealed) (CD)

Trombonist and Composer Clifton Anderson returns with his fourth solo album "Been Down This Road Before" via Ropeadope. The title and lead single state the intent and message that is on the composer’s mind: Been Down This Road Before is a thought provoking musical message, delivered at a time when racism, greed, injustice and a deadly pandemic are jeopardizing our ability to harmoniously exist with one another and with our planet. ‘I believe music is a powerful tool to evoke consciousness and therefore change.
