The record of the summer!!!
Dark Star | 05/21/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I can't put it any other way -- this record is absolutely fantastic!"
Highly entertaining, if not wildly original...
B. Wilcox | Girdwood, AK | 06/13/2006

"... which about says it all. If you don't have a detailed knowledge of Previte's past work, the fact that he reworks some old compositions won't matter. It's a highly entertaining, highly energetic album. (It reminds me of The President's "Bring Yr Camera", a Wayne Horvitz project that Previte was a part of.)



Complaining that he reworks some earlier compositions for a new line-up of musicians seems beside the point. Jazz musicians do that all the time.



This isn't cutting edge, but it it's tremendously entertaining. Given the line-up, it's more in the ballpark of Galactic or Critters Buggin.



To hear something recent that's more adventurous from Previte, try Groundtruther's "Longitude" (with Charlie Hunter and DJ Logic). In fact, it's Charlie Hunter who really climbs out of his rut on both albums.

Where do I sign up?

"Take a group of highly talented jazzmen - you've got Skerik, Stanton moore and Charlie Hunter to name a few - and get them to cut their teeth on the sonic 'blaze' that is Previte's imagination, and you get a spontaneous hard drivin' energy that you can feel as much as hear. This is a great piece of all-out-brawling rock-jazz. It breaks the mould of genre-bound categorization and presents a fresh contemporary approach to instrumental music.



I first heard of Previte in relation to his Latitude series of discs he cut with Charlie Hunter, but have not yet had the chance to sample that series. After hearing this, that's my next stop. Previte's coalition of the willing? Where do I sign up!"
