5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the great cds of all time, May 23, 2008
This review is from: Souls Within the Veil (Audio CD)
After listening to this double cd for the 20th time in the last 6 or 7 months, I was wondering what other people thought and was very surprised not to find any reviews. For me, this is one of the great cds of any music form of all time. The songs were inspired by W.E.B. Dubois' book of music and poetry, The Souls of Black Folk. The band is a group of the very best--Harris, Bluiett, Byron, Ragin, Lake, Hart, Graham Haynes and Kahil El Zabar. It is full of great solos and ensemble work, raucous but not dissonant. I am not a music critic but I would classify it as avant-garde and close to the edge without falling over it.
