Exploration Series 7
ANDY McKEE and NEXT:
Sound Roots
Picture this: Miles’ exciting, late sixties horn blend, the rhythmic urge of a Mingus solo, a note-bending, bluesy electric guitar—and Mapleshade sound. That’s Sound Roots. “The mood here is modern, blues-tinged… McKee plays the devil out of the bass, as his performances with the Mingus Big Band, Elvin Jones and others have proved. His walking lines are wrist-thick, filled with limber notes; his intonation is spot-on…” 41ž2 Stars, according to Down Beat. Andy’s feel-it-in-the-floor bass propels the gorgeously natural-sounding horns and the warm electric guitar. Billy Kilson’s drums are excitingly splashy and dynamic The originals by McKee are irresistible. Their rhythmic twists and turns, their surprising changes in mood keep me riveted. Features Alex Foster on sax locked ultra-tight with Ryan Kisor on trumpet, backed by Ed Cherry’s soulful, Bensonesque electric guitar. (#04432)
