Its All About the Joy
By Fiona Ross
Cellist and composer Tomeka Reid skips. In public. She frolics. In public. This is arguable my favourite thing about this incredible artist. Joy is important to Tomeka. Not jus her own joy, but the joy of others. In her latest album dance! skip! hop! she explores the joy of her family and the legacy she is part of. Her great grandmother Francis Elizabeth Bean, her grandmother Estelle and her great Aunt Cece are at the forefront of this stunning album.
