Just want to re-emphasize that this is not cookie cutter jazz and a thought out vehicle well played by lesser known crew here.The S.Cal jazz/activism (which cannot be seperated in their functions) was off shoot of the great pioneering works of Horace Tapscott and others (like Leon Thomas given tribute here).Of note beyond names on front of leader Lea,Hilton Ruiz,,Bill Summer sare a greats of lesser known names like Bill Summers,Munyungo Jackson,David Frasier on various percussion whose interplay with Lea and Blake are great.Khalil Shaheed on trumpet,and Angela Wellman on a killer trombone are people you want to here more of.Richard Howell plays a great sax and has a killer voice to match.I guess the only thing that hurts listening to here concerns the recent early death of Master Hilton Ruiz who gives this the perfect blend of the Tapscott avant garde tradition and provides the latin underpinnings of this great session.Normally I shy away from vocal choir (like those of Byrd and Roach) but here it rarely detracts (and often add's) so this will not make you reject this amazing CD for many repeated listening.It's a smoker!!!!!!!!!Support local jazz and support jazz foundation Of America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peace
