Reggie Workman: Cerebral Caverns
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 [link to Summit Conference page]-- 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.
