Oliver Lake Quintet - Expandable Language


Artist: Oliver Lake Quintet
Album:  Expandable Language
Genre: Contemporary Jazz, Free Improvisation
Labe: Black Saint Records
Recording Date: 1994


This free bop session (which is often quite free but often has a strong pulse) is one of altoist Oliver Lake's more rewarding sessions. Guitarist Kevin Eubanks sometimes seems a bit out of place (generally he plays in more conservative settings), but pianist Geri Allen, bassist Fred Hopkins, and drummer Pheeroan AkLaff are quite comfortable thinking on their feet during these spirited performances. ~~ by Scott Yanow
