This CD reissues an interesting if not essential set by the passionate saxophonist
Carlos Garnett. The five selections (which are augmented by two previously unissued alternate takes) combine together advanced jazz, electronics (particularly from guitarist
Reggie Lucas who was with
Miles Davis at the time), the voices of
Dee Dee Bridgewater (on one of her first dates) and
Ayodele Jenkins which are often heard in the ensembles, and funky pop elements. In addition to
Garnett (mostly heard on tenor and soprano), trumpeter
Charles Sullivan, pianist
Allan Gumbs and guitarist
Lucas are the main soloists while
Bridgewater is well featured on the two versions of "Banks Of The Nile." The unpredictable music overall is eccentric, sometimes overcrowded, and very much of the period but it holds one's interest.
