Harlem Gospel Travelers

Things are looking up for The Harlem Gospel Travelers (singers Thomas Gatling, George Marage, and Dennis Bailey). Produced by Eli Paperboy Reed, Look Up! marks the group’s first full-length release as a trio, as well as their first collection of totally original material. The music still draws deeply on the gospel quartet tradition of the ’50s and ’60s, but there’s a distinctly modern edge. The songs are bold and resilient, facing down doubt and despair with faith and perseverance.
