Free Music Review: World Jazz Fusion with touches of Yusef Lateef, Miles Davis, and Charles Mingus
Hit: 5 Stars
On the surface this CD has a little bit of everything. It's a world tour of jazz fusion with influences from Brazil to the Middle East to Japan. Normally this sort of world music ala carte blended together doesn't work. It comes off as insincere or cheezy. This is not the case here. This album is a cohesive whole with depth and feeling, and at times includes elements of Miles Davis era bitches brew gurgling cacophony and saxophone blurbs that sound like something off an Eric Dolphy CD. Also at times you can't miss the connections to Yusef Lateef's work on the Savoy lable in the late 50's or Mingus' Cumbia and Jazz Fusion.
The two common themes throughout the album are the airy horns and flutes and the driving percussion. Adam Rudolph and Hamid Drake lay down a thick rhythm section while Graham Hayes, Ned Rothenberg, and Steve Gorn supply trumpet, flute, and reed solos. The group is further augmented by electric guitar, and oud (on some tracks). The title of the CD is quite appropriate as the CD has a dreamy surreal feel from start to finish. For me the highlight of the CD is the Japanese style shakuhachi flute playing on Cousin of the Moon and Twilight Lake. The feeling and mood created by these airy flute solos are just unmatched in anything else I've heard.
