“Sounds of America” by Donald Rosenberg

“Two harpist-composers, Alice Coltrane and Brandee Younger, receive performances that convey Jackson’s affection for these artists and her ability to bring expressive luminosity to whatever she touches […] The harp versions of ‘I’m troubled in mind’ and ‘The angels changed my name’ - both American Spirituals - abound in moments of quiet despair and divine ecstasy that Jackson shapes with keen attention to shading and dynamics.”
