CD Reviews

Modern Jazz at its Best
Bryan White - Modern Jazz Bassist | North Carolina | 07/17/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Colley, a respected yet underrated young lion of modern jazz, teams up with drummer Bill Stewart (of John Scofield and Pat Metheny Trio fame), guitarist Adam Rogers, and tenor saxophonist Ravi Coltrane. The set mainly features abstract funk-based tunes, but this is not "jam band" music at all. Colley and Co. improvise their butts off, swinging relentlessly. Ornette Coleman's "Alpha" is given a fine run-through, with Stewart kicking up a storm, much as he does on the other swing vehicle, "Barracudas." While this CD may be a bit too abstract for some, those who enjoy modern jazz that is exploratory and very much NOT commercial would dig this."
