The second release (and first studio outing) from the second edition of Russ Gershon's Either/Orchestra, Afro-Cubism finds the legendary New England avant-garde big band tackling a Latin-influenced songbook. The ten-piece runs through six charts, mostly composed by tenor saxophonist Gershon, but also a cover of George Harrison's "Don't Bother Me." The music is smooth and sultry, with effortless syncopated grooving from the rhythm section of Rick McLaughlin, Harvey Wirht, and Vicente Lebron. With a great attention to detail, the harmony players weave intricate arrangements: Myriad minute calls and responses sound beneath the melodies, songs are passed from instrument to instrument, and the band generally breathes life into the tunes. And though the music isn't nearly as far-reaching as some of the Either/Orchestra's earlier work, it is still deeply satisfying. It is a measure of the band's maturity that it resists the urge to slip into dissonant avant-gardisms, and -- instead -- serves the songs' grooves. That said, the thoughtfulness of the band is still prevalent, and several of the songs (such as "Yezamed Yebaed") could notably use a bit of a punch. ~ Jesse JarnowJazzTimes (8/03, p.140) - "...Technical prowess, feeling and intellect rarely combine like this..."

Even if B.B. King is the King of the Blues, some might find it strange that he chose to record Let the Good Times Roll, a tribute album to Louis Jordan, the King of Jump Blues. King's work was never as boisterous or enthusiastic as Jordan's, but his debt is apparent from the first cut of the album. King may have never done straight jump blues, but his sophisticated urban blues -- complete with horn sections and an emphasis on vocals -- shows as much jump influence as it does Delta. Let the Good Times Roll brings that home with a quiet, seductive insistence. Backed by a stellar band -- featuring Dr. John on piano, drummer Earl Palmer, alto saxophonist Hank Crawford, and tenor saxophonist Dave "Fathead" Newman, among others -- B.B. King sounds loose and natural. There are stars in the band, but this is hardly a bloated all-star effort, since the focus in on delivering no-nonsense performances. Strangely enough, King doesn't play that much guitar on the album, concentrating on his vocals and letting the band interact. When he does solo, it's as elegant and tasteful as always, but the focal point is always the songs. Since ...
