RASHIED ALI has been hailed as an innovative avant-gardist ever since his days as John Coltrane's last drummer, but who knew he was also an in-the-pocket stickman whose propulsive swing would energize one of the best straightahead small ensembles in Jazz. Well, everyone who's heard his current quintet with veterans Greg Murphy and Joris Teepe on piano and bass and young lions Josh Evans and Lawrence Clark on trumpet and tenor sax, knows. This band is in demand both here and abroad, so if you're a fan of classic Blue Note Jazz from the Sixties, ask for a copy of Rashied's CD Judgment Day, then book them and make yourself and your audience happy. |
