Gregory Groover Quintet 

North to Boston 

Gregory Groover's music is rooted in the idea of community, connectedness, and, as he put it in an interview, "the idea that sound could move people closer to something greater than themselves." Groover, whose previous work includes reimagining African American spirituals and an album of love songs and songs of people he loves, brings the personal and the historical together in his newest program. In North to Boston, he's inspired by the stories of members of his home church—people he's known for years—who migrated to Boston between World War II and the 1980s.
