A CONTEMPORARY
ENSEMBLE, BUT ONE WITH A RIGHTEOUS FEEL THAT TAKES US RIGHT BACK TO THE BEST YEARS OF 70S SPIRITUAL JAZZ -- A FREELY CREATIVE
COMBO WHO MIX BITS OF GUITAR AND ELECTRONICS WITH WARMER SOUNDS ON FLUTES, SAXES, AND PERCUSSION! THERE'S A BIT OF VOCAL RECITATION
ON THE SET, BUT THE MAIN FOCUS IS INSTRUMENTAL -- AND IN A WAY, THE GROUP'S APPROACH ALMOST MIXES AN EARLIER AACM SPIRIT WITH
DOWNTOWN EXPERIMENTALISM -- BUT ALWAYS IN A BLEND THAT LEANS TOWARDS THE SOULFULNESS OF THE FORMER.
