Lafayette Harris, Jr. Is 'Hangin' With the Big Boys' on New Airmen Records Release [REVIEW]
'While We're Still Young,' Sax Man Patrick Cornelius Wants us all to Relive Childhood [REVIEW]
Inspired by 'When We Were Very Young' by A.A. Milne, a book of poetry read to his mom by his grandmother, then read to him by his mom, then read to his daughter by him, composer/bandleader Patrick Cornelius plays alto and soprano sax plus flute in this, his sixth CD. 'While We're Still Young' (Whirlwind) consists of six wholly entertaining and highly recommended tracks stitched together as a suite. New Zion Swims 'Sunshine Seas' on Eclectic Dub Masterpiece From RareNoise Records [REVIEW]
Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista adds his snap, crackle and pop to this heavy underground dub CD of slinky beats called Sunshine Seas by New Zion on RareNoise Records. Jamie Saft-composer, producer, keyboards, guitars, electric bass-leads this quilt of a quintet through a patchwork of ancient yet futuristic sounds, glued together by electronics. It's a bumpy trip smoothed out by the blips and bleeps of what used to be known as microtonal dance music.
