What Planet Are We On?!?!, May 18, 2004
This review is from: Anatomy of a Groove (Audio CD)
A great collaboration and a truly unique sound in modern jazz. Syncopation is the rule thru most of these intricate cuts. Two bass players, 2 saxes, Cassandra Wilson and the inimitable Marvin "Smitty" Smith on drums. Very glad to see it's been re-released. Put your counting cap on and groove away. For me, (a musician), this kind of music is a joyful adventure: dense tonalities, overlapping time signatures and expert musicianship. There are a couple "normal" sounding songs in the sense of scale and flow, but the majority is a rip-roaring modern electric contraption that is just too elaborate to ever get tired of...
