Comments on the Music

I enjoyed listening to Matthew Shipp's "flow of X" recording. It's on the edge and always seemed to put me in a deep mood when I played it. Lot's of energy from the musicians.

The Priester/Rivers project provide good overlays on top of other music. I played it on top of DJ Shadow. The beats with River's snakelike soprano fit well.

Fred Ho's music as always if full of energy and has a message about the unjust cruelty to the minorities that live in this country.

Ernest Dawkin's New Horizon Ensemble is something that I will be playing a lot. His music is the kind of real Black music that makes you want to dance. It is on the edge there are great compositions and solos throughout. I picked this one up myself and it was worth it. Can't wait for Vol. 2.
