Synopsis

Album Description

Received **** from DownBeat. Ranging from Afro-Cuban chant and danceable funkiness to boppish two-horn complexities and remodeled tunes by Monk and Mingus, Guardians of the Light proves that Rosewoman pursues musical visions of her very own that have "the exciting immediacy of hard bop and the unfolding depth of Santeria ritual" (JazzTimes).

CD Reviews

Piano CD of the Year

Norman R. Emerson | Murray, Utah United States | 01/07/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"During the year 2000, I purchased more jazz piano CD's than I ever have before. I would place this CD in the top 5 of the year (I also LOVED Jean-Michel Pilc's "Live at Sweet Basil CD--incidentally, Rosewoman's CD was also recorded at Sweet Basil). The liner notes mention Rosewoman's wide range of interests and influences, which are very evident in her work. THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING CD!"
