Trumpeter Ralph Alessi convenes a quintet on this adventurous date, one of two concurrent releases on Ravi Coltrane's RKM label (the other being the duo disc Vice & Virtue). Joined by Don Byron on clarinet, David Gilmore on guitar, Drew Gress on bass, and Nasheet Waits on drums, Alessi displays an advanced and highly engaging approach to composition, marked by a relaxed use of space and a reliance on meticulous but natural-sounding unison rhythmic figures. The harmonic language is generally quite open-ended, although pianist Jason Moran's guest appearances lend a contrasting flavor. Julie Patton comes on board to recite text on the four-part "I Am a Cowboy in the Boat of Ra," based on a poem by Ishmael Reed. The disc closes with an easygoing reading of Duke Ellington's "Portrait of Mahalia Jackson" (here simply titled "Mahalia"), featuring a compelling statement from the Duke-savvy Moran. - David R.
