Bio / Background

"Tales of the Black Experience" is a set of musical tales depicting the African-American existence - past, present and future. The first in a set of compositions dealing with the issue of blacks in America, "Tales" combines poetry and modern jazz to act as a preface to the coming compositions.

Its 10 musical selections and 5 poetic narrations deal with different eras of African-American history, from pre-colonial West Africa through slavery and on to complete emancipation, a goal toward which we are still striving. The piece ends on a philosophical note: that the ultimate goal for Black America is to transcend the still rampant slave mentality, and to name ourselves spiritually, socially, and economically. The goal of "Tales of the Black Experience" is to challenge the audience to draw their own conclusions and act on them to better, not only themselves, but all African peoples. Mark Lomax, II composed this extended work in 1997.
