In his notes about Ornette Coleman, Lester Koening emphasizes that many musicians coming after iconic figures feel liberated to intermingle influences, leading to hybrid sounds.
The track 'Congo Call' surprises with a one chord vamp layered with two basses, showcasing the unique combination and differing styles of Lasha and Simmons.
Lasha's gentle melodies contrast sharply with Simmons's alto, particularly evident in the trio pieces 'Bojangles' and 'Lost Generation', highlighting jazz evolution.
Rather than a pastiche, this album reveals a fresh and inventive approach that respects the past while carving out a distinctive sound.
