This is an astounding record by an artist who has been
criminally neglected. The list of those who could make out jazz
funky is a short one. Ornette of course springs to mind as do
the musicians of the Art Ensemble and their Chicago brethren.
Drummer Steve Reid must now be added to that list. From the
swaggering thunder of "Lions of Juda," to the gentler songs
that close this album, there's nary a misstep. This music is as
beautiful and dangerous as a shower of broken glass - just when
you think you've got a song figured out, this clever group of
largely unsung musicians heightens the tension and takes things
careening off in an unexpected direction. Have no fear though,
these men are always nothing if not firmly in control. This is
a wonderful document of a long vanished New York scene that was
long on every emotion, not just fury. Find this album and buy
it.
