   A Rite for All Souls has been called “extraordinary” (JazzPress Poland), “a potent thing to behold” (AllAboutJazz.com), and “a beautiful musical and historical document” (MusicZoom, Italy).  Donald Elfman (The New York City Jazz Record) wrote, “A Rite for All Souls is a deeply engaging series of improvisations, sound worlds and rich musical expression," while Joseph Neff (The Vinyl District) called the recording “…a fascinating and robust snapshot of street-level jazz and poetry as a vehicle for social commentary and positive change…. everybody plays at a high level throughout.”  Jon Ross (Ear Relevant) wrote, “The new album from The Mark Harvey Group, A Rite for All Souls (Americas Musicworks), captures a seminal live show from 1971….an indelible recording that characterizes the immediacy of free-jazz protest music at a consequential time in American history.…a release for the times, bringing the free jazz language of social justice to the fore.”   For information: visit http://www.americasmusicworks.com/mark-harvey-group.html or contact  Rebecca DeLamotte, manager for The Mark Harvey Group, 617 776 8778 or delamotte-amw@comcast.net]]></description>
