| Our friends at Drimala Records always come up with exciting & challenging recordings. Jeffrey's CD is no exception to that expectation! Lee is a poet of strong substance... this particular outing serves to chronicle his impressions of experiences after he was assaulted in New York City. He is joined (vocally) by Lori-Nan Engler & (percussively) by internationally renowned percussionist Toshi Makihara. As you might imagine, this isn't "party music"... you must listen to the sensitive & gripping interaction between the vocals & Makihara's cymbals/drums. The stories Jeffrey tells are not "60 Minutes" style... it is recommended that you block out an hour (or so) to sit down with headphones when you listen to this; if you do it that way, you'll find yourself immersed in Lee's experience. I enjoyed this CD immensely - enough so to give it a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for any listener who can/will take the time to absorb it. A great music/poetry experience! | Improvijazzation Nation, |
