Spectacular Latin jazz from a monster drummer/percussionist.......2003-11-13

Sometimes I sneak a peak at the instrumentation of a CD if it's listed cut by cut before I listen to it. Not smart. Too much of a temptation to prejudge a performance based on who's playing what. I did that with this CD, and I was prepared for the worst from the get go: a trio version (trumpet, bass, congas) of Charlie Parker's "Billie's Bounce." Imaginings of John Faddis, noted jazz trumpet virtuoso who plays on this cut, screaming away at the top of his instrument's range, sprang into my head.

But not to worry. The guys take it at a loping, rollicking gait--not the usually hell-bent pace that typically characterizes contemporary interpretations--bringing out heretofore hidden treasures. Or take their reading of Monk's "Ask Me Now," given a tango-like feel that morphs into late-night blooziness about a third of the way through. One wouldn't have thought such an interpretation would work, but a single listen reveals its complete naturalness, indeed, almost inevitability. John Purcell, a scandalously underrecorded saxophonist of uncommon depth, provides the backbone here with some very satisfying blowing, admirably supported by the blues-drenched piano of Tommy James (a name new to me--nice quote of "Rhapsody in Blue" at the end of his solo) and some soulful bottom courtesy of the great Santi Debriano, one of my very favorite bass players.

It's not that this band can't cook; their rendition of the Lea original "Father of Dreams, Daughter of Destiny," a burning Latinate number, swaggers and swashbuckles, driven by the fiery piano of Hilton Ruiz. And "I'm Back," 13-and-a-half minutes of driving rhythms and bubbling percussion penned by the aforementioned Purcell, bursts from the speakers like a runaway semi. Faddis, appropriately, gets to demonstrate his formidable chops, as does Frank Lacy on trombone and Ruiz with more scorching pianisms.

The proceedings take a lyrical turn on the gorgeous trio number, "Little Girls," amply demonstrating Babatunde's emotional range, and providing a perfect vehicle for Kenny Barron on piano and Charnett Moffett on bass, surely one of the more nuanced rhythms sections in jazz. The crepuscular feel continues on "Level of Intent," a slow waltz drenched in pathos and once again proving Purcell's sax mastery. Check out, also, Barron's wonderfully evocative and lyrically provocative piano solo, among his finest on disc. Indeed, Lea seems to bring out the very best in his playing partners. These two are separated by "Fools and Babies," another Lea original and probably my favorite on this disc, featuring some startling soloing from Marvin Horn on guitar (another name new to me) and Frank Lacy on 'bone, but it really shines by virtue of its stunning group interaction.

Things close out, appropriately, with an older (originally recorded on his brilliant, albeit sadly, out of print disc, Obeh) but nonetheless stunning composition by Santi Debriano, "Offering." Appropriately, because this number so perfectly expresses and sums up the vibe here: state-of-the-art Afro-Latin jazz of the absolute highest order. Tommy James (WHO IS THIS DUDE??) comes through with a dazzling piano solo, all the more striking by virtue of its offhand, even throwaway vibe, and John Purcell, on no less than four (count 'em) woodwinds, simply mesmerizes.

I was unaware that this was a reissue from 1995 when I bought it; it doesn't matter: It just makes me all the more anxious to pick up his latest, Soul Pools. Listen. This is the real deal. I approached this disc with high expectations, and they've been completely exceeded by the surpassingly glorious vibe generated by Babatunde Lea and his spectacular bandmates.

Gems- quite literally.......2000-03-02

This CD features a number of works which are quite simply stunning. The arrangement of Morricone's "Gabriel's Oboe" is hauntingly beautiful, and is sympathetically played by the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines. A surprisingly interesting track is the music from "Independance Day" which has a strong harmony and a "right good tune"! Enjoy!
