Oliver Lake - Life Dance Of Is

Oliver Lake - Life Dance Of Is 

Great album by a great band on a great label. Pheeroan akLaff and Anthony Davis are stellar, as expected, and Buster Williams kills it on Comous. Lake is determined and focused throughout, wearing the band like a fine suit around his tunes. Don't sleep on Michael Gregory's T-fon, either.
All compositions by Oliver Lake except as indicated
  1. Rite-ing
  2. Comous
  3. Shu-ful
  4. T-fon (Michael Gregory Jackson)
  5. Change One
  6. Of Is

James Blood Ulmer - Black Rock


James Blood Ulmer - Black Rock

Oh man, if you can't find something you like on this record, I can't help you. A couple of power trios, a couple of sing-songs, a couple of free jazz boogies, and great playing from the core of Blood Ulmer, Amin Ali on bass, and the great G. Calvin Weston on drums. A stone classic.
