Details

[Edit]

If any proof were needed that the legacy of the Jazz Messengers is still alive, this CD could serve as evidence. The muscular tenor Alex Dean and his sextet actually stick (with the lone exception of "Skylark") exclusively to new originals but the group's playing (particularly on "My Pal Al," "Marshall Law" and "Nommo") often fits securely in The Messengers hard bop style. Fortunately the musicians (which include trumpeter Mike Malone, pianist Mark Eisenman, bassist Kieran Overs and drummer Barry Elmes), are not copying their predecessors. There is a dash of Coltrane (in the soprano playing of Dean and the modal comping of Eisenman) on the title cut and Stanley Turrentine's cries appear in the versatile Dean's solo during "Sosumi" but in general the players revitalize the tradition within its boundaries; Dean even stretches it a little during the intense "Nommo." Art Blakey fans will be pleased with this music.
