Dr. Mark Lomax, II

“Lomax envisions what Coltrane might have ascribed to if he had lived beyond age 40. ” - Mark Corroto

“Each of the seven movements of Lomax’s composition flowed seamlessly into the next, resulting in a continuous hour of powerful music. ” - Andrew Patton

“Lomax’s melodious and moving drumming—which conjures Elvin Jones’ riveting, Afro-polyrhythmic pulsations, Max Roach’s bopping brilliance, and Tony Williams’ volcanic power—is supported by Hulett’s bone-deep baselines, Menefield’s McCoy Tyler-indebted pianism, and Bayard’s own takes on Coltrane’s “sheets of sound”.” - Eugene Holley, Jr

“There is no hyperbole in the title 400: An Afrikan Epic; it is work of significant importance, a spiritual fact-finding mission that plays out as an impressive, multilayered historical soundtrack.” - Karl Ackerman
