INARHYME 1007
MARK LOMAX TRIO/Isis & Osiris: Coming on the heels of the 150th anni of Emancipation Proclamation, one of the leading lights of modern civil rights jazz takes it upon himself to get people hip to African and Egyptian mythology letting some culture flow away from Greco-Roman mythology and letting other cultures explore their heritages. Music to accompany smoky blue lights in the basement, it's nice to let everyone know they didn't just get dumped here from somewhere in space and have backgrounds to draw on that's their own. Leader Lomax might be a drummer, but he has his crew lay the Archie Shepp on thick to really let the FUBU vibe make itself known. Heady stuff that'll take you back to the day while letting you stay right here.
