“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. As a percussionist, Lomax is striking, carrying out solos and all-percussion tracks in a style that is primal yet intricately sophisticated. His duo, trio and quartet are long-time associates—outstanding musicians, well-aligned with the leader. As a composer, Lomax is a visionary who incorporates all the key benchmarks of jazz, from West Afrikan roots, to gradations of bop and on to progressive jazz extensions. The degree to which a listener absorbs the social message at the heart of this music is a matter of choice but the music on its own is full of history and looming possibilities. The vast majority of compositions and improvisations that makes up 400: An Afrikan Epic are essential listening and highly recommended.”- Karl Ackerman (All About Jazz)
