![Alvin Ailey American Dance [Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre] [C Major Entertainment: 738408] [2016]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XMhSpKtTL.jpg)
This release gives listeners a chance to witness an iconic masterpiece of American dance. Alvin Ailey's Revalations has been described by The New york Times as "one of the great works of the human spirit." This stunning, soulful tour de foce draws on African-American spirituals, song-sermons, gospel songs and holy blues. The wide-ranging influences and irrepressible passion of Revalations are evident across the rest of this electrifying program, which features Wayne McGregor's sumptuous Chroma, set to a score by Joby Talbot with orchestrations of songs by The White Stripes, Ronald K. Brown's Grace, a powerful meeting of modern and West African dance with a soundtrack by Duke Ellington, Roy Davis and Fela Kuti and Robert Battle's humorous, high-flying Takadem.

ONE OF THE VERY BEST ALVIN AILEY DANCE CD'S
The Alvin Ailey American Dance CD is outstanding in its content and substance.It is exactly what I would expect from a Ailey Dance Performance.It brought back many "memories" of his dance troupe work over the many years.It is extraordinary, and I can use it for both personal and professional "learning and teaching" endeavors, and the like.I would recommend this CD for anyone who is interested in dance excellence and showmanship extraordinaire.It is "absolutely the bomb" in every sense of the word.

Was everythings I hoped it would be
DVD was perfect, arrived on time and was everything I hoped it would be. Revelations was Alvin Ailey's Purple Rain, a Masterpiece.

The Alvin Ailey Dance Company has been the standard for ...
The Alvin Ailey Dance Company has been the standard for excellence in dance for decades. This program continues the trend, showcasing new works as well as the always emotionally moving, REVELATIONS. I could watch it weekly, forever, and never get tired of seeing it.

Ailey Comes Alive!
Next best thing to seeing Ailey live and in person. Performance of Grace and Revelations worth the price of video alone. Great visuals and soundtrack. Must have for Ailey fans.
