A new record bringing together some of the most fearless voices in modern music: Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Nduduzo Makhathini, Jason Marsalis, Lenny White (Miles Davis & Return to Forever), G Calvin Weston (Ornette Coleman), Donald Harrison & Bill Summers (The Headhunters).
This album is a collision of alt-jazz, progressive blues, and improvisational fusion – equal parts groove, chaos & cosmos. It doesn’t sit neatly in any category, and that’s the point! Think Ornette meets King Crimson in a NOLA warehouse.
