Album Description Features William Parker - critically acclaimed New York City bassist and Campbell's long time collaborator - as well as Chicago's premier percussionist Hamid Drake, who the duo met while participating in Peter Brötzmann's Die Like a Dog. This release is both hip and widely appealing, and the chemistry between these three musicians is amazing. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsAvant garde + soul = instant classic William E. Russell | Oakland, CA [Bostonian-in-exile] | 07/02/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Trumpeter Roy Campbell, who has studied under Lee Morgan and played with Peter Brotzmann's band of sonic terrorists, Die Like A Dog, is typical of a group of latter-day Free Jazzers who are dedicated to pursuing advanced musical experimentation without losing sight of passion and soulfulness. It's a pity that jazz labels don't release singles; for, while much of this genre will always remain a minority taste, some of it surely ought to be able to reach a mass audience. Case in point: the title track of this, the most recent and best of Campbell's three albums with his Pyramid Trio. Combining an irresistible reggae beat with a catchy tune and a fiery trumpet solo, "Ethnic Stew and Brew" ought to have people dancing in the streets all over the world. Other standout tracks: "Heavenly Ascending", which wouldn't be out of place on an ECM chamber-jazz disc, and "Impressions of Yokahama", which opens with bass player William Parker on shakuhachi (Japanese wooden flute) backed by Hamid Drake on bells; when Parker switches to bass, the music takes off on a joyous romp reminiscent of a classic Art Blakey Blue Note session. These three pieces add up to a solid 20 minutes that can stand with the best jazz (the best music, period) ever recorded." Mindbending Jazz! SIMON AGUILAR-GARCIA | Seattle, Wa. USA | 09/01/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "One of the most exhilerating modern Jazz cd's I have heard! Roy's playing is deep and soulful and he is provided a very invigorating rhythm section courtesy of William Parker and Hamid Drake. Various World beat influences really take hold of the listener while the soloing guide's you on a musical trip. Play them often on The Crazy Coyote Blues and Jazz Power Show at 1490 KOTY in southcentral Wa. state." Flowing, bopping jazz of today. Brian "Jazz Fan" J. B. | Kalamazoo, MI USA | 04/18/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is great stuff. Also check out the trio centered on jazz violinist Billy Bang on William Parker's "Scrapbook" from 2003 on the Thirsty Ear label. Ethnic Stew and Brew is the best Roy Campbell I have heard and is jazz that lives and breathes today. I find the same logic on "Scrapbook", which also has William Parker and Hamid Drake. These cats (or lions) are making exceptional music for jazz fans who are not tied to the past."
