new review of Last Stand by @Critical Jazz
“A first-rate ensemble of jazz’s brightest minds make sparks
Avishai Cohen, Chauncey Yearwood, Kris Bauman and others join together with the Williamsburg, Brooklyn-based bassist/composer Andy Cotton for a freaked-out, molten session of jazz/funk fusion that recalls the gnarliest, most soulful and hardest-grooving portions of Bitches Brew-era Miles. Slow, loping reggae grooves, grainy, soulful blues vocals and cooled-out Augustus Pablo-style melodica further stir the stylistic pot.”
