Incorporating his straight-ahead and free jazz influences with both his classical and his Eastern music sensitivities, maestro Reggie Workman has taken the next exciting step beyond Summit Conference fast forward into the musical future. To a heady mix of traditional jazz instrumentation, he has added the texture and flavors of harp, tablas, and electronics. By varying the combination of players from piece to piece, Workman has produced a kaleidoscope of differing textures on Cerebral Caverns, using this broad and changing palette to create a compelling disc which never fails to rivet the listener's attention.
