Salim Washington & the Roxbury Blues Aesthetic

Salim Washington has had a wonderfully checkered career, from Detroit inner-city teenager to prep school phenom, Harvard undergrad, preacher, teacher, father of four, grad student, and consistently through all of this, Roxbury Mass. based reedman and composer.

Although he has appeared previously as a sideman (including an early Accurate release, The Billy Skinner Double Jazz Quartet "Kosen Rufu" AC-3333), "Love in Exile" is Salim's first album as a leader. It features his core band along with some very distinguished guests, namely Joe Bonner on piano, Kuumba Frank Lacy on trombone and trumpet, and Artie Moore on bass.
