Guitarist Jean-Paul Bourelly's ensemble combines his own heavy
guitar sound and R&B-tinged vocals, the passionate African
chants of Abdourahmane Diop, and the percussive drive of Samba
Sock on boograboo (four large African congas with bells) and
Slaka on djembe. Reggie Washington (of Steve Coleman renown)
plays bass on four tracks, doubling the low end with Big Royal
Talamacus on "filtered boom bass," which sounds like bass
through a fuzz box. Two high-profile guest saxophonists, Archie
Shepp and Henry Threadgill, appear on several tracks,
enlivening the session with their free jazz sensibilities.
Bourelly's work could be called freeform funk-rock, with strong
hints of Hendrix and Vernon Reid, as well as the kind of
focused-yet-free rhythmic attack associated with Steve Coleman
and the M-Base movement. The term "boom bop" in fact captures
it quite well. There's also a strong political undercurrent in
Bourelly's music, which becomes overt with the rap lyrics to
"Invisible Indivisible." On electric guitar, Bourelly is at his
best on "Three Chambers of Diop," where his wah-wah creates a
wall of sound with a unique kind of beauty. In a very different
vein, his solo acoustic guitar piece "Root One" would make any
Jimmy Page fan happy.
