RELEASE INFORMATION
This ultra-fiery, ultra-live, double-disc recording of The Babatunde Lea quintet featuring Ernie Watts, Patrice Rushen, and Dwight Trible lifts the spirit of avant-garde jazz vocal legend Leon Thomas from the obscurity of time to the creative forefront of today’s jazz scene. Lea’s quintet fearlessly and flawlessly follows its creative muse on a soaring Thomas-inspired journey. From explosive blues
numbers to African spiritual vocalizations, the quintet is driven by
Babatunde Lea’s hypnotic percussive grooves. If “the creator has a master plan” for jazz, this may well be it.
