CD Reviews

Great new jazz
T. Bekken | Austmarka Norway | 05/22/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Lafayette Gilchrist is a young pianist who has put together his own little mix of jazz, blues, funk, rock, R&B, free improv and live (non-sampled)hip-hop beats. The effect is breathtaking.

On this trio recording, the music is constantly moving forward with solid swing and surging motion. Somehow, the music makes you think, listen and tap your feet at the same time. Great tunes like 'In Depth', 'Volcano Red', 'Inside Outside' and the blues 'The Enquizator's Request' will hopefully be played for years to come.

The bass/drum team of Anthony 'Blue' Jenkins and Nate Reynolds respectively, is doing a wonderful job. The ebullient electric bass of Jenkins is especially good, and drummer Reynolds lays down a mean, funky backbeat. On top of it all is Gilchrist's piano - a tour de force of bluesy inspiration, rhythmic imagination and swinging creativity.

A must-have for anyone who wants to examine where jazz may be going in the 21st century."
