Our friends at Drimala Records always
come up with exciting & challenging recordings. Jeffrey's CD is no exception to
that expectation! Lee is a poet of strong substance... this particular outing serves
to chronicle his impressions of experiences after he was assaulted in New York City.
He is joined (vocally) by Lori-Nan Engler & (percussively) by internationally renowned
percussionist Toshi Makihara. As you might imagine, this isn't "party
music"... you must listen to the sensitive & gripping interaction between
the vocals & Makihara's cymbals/drums. The stories Jeffrey tells are not
"60 Minutes" style... it is recommended that you block out an hour (or so) to
sit down with headphones when you listen to this; if you do it that way, you'll find
yourself immersed in Lee's experience. I enjoyed this CD immensely - enough
so to give it a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for any listener who can/will take the time to
absorb it. A great music/poetry experience! |
