While the national dialogue has been more focused on race in the last year or so, it’s been on musician and Rotterdam native Gregg August’s mind for more than a decade.
The jazz bassist released “Dialogues on Race” earlier this year, an album that’s been in the works since 2009. It’s already earned a Grammy Award nomination for best large jazz ensemble album.
“I’m not used to getting those types of acknowledgments. So it was pretty cool,” August said.
He may not be used to such industry accolades, but his life is rooted in music.
