Tomin Perea Chamblee creates some really beautiful sounds here – blowing flute, clarinets, trombone, and even a bit of euphonium – in a setting that moves between spiritually meditative moments and more straightforward jazz expressions! The array of other players on the set shape the music as much as
Tomin – Teiana Davis on Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, and Casio Spaceship – next to Clerida Eltime and Lester St Louis on cellos, Linton Smith II on trumpet and Yamaha keys, Luke Stewart on bass, and Tcheser Holmes on drums – the last two of whom can really kick in at all the right moments, and push the record in all the right ways! The music is ambitious, but also very down to earth – never too stuck in a chamber mode, and instead deeply personal and expressive – on titles that include a great reworking of the Kalaparusha classic "Humility In Light Of The Creator", plus "Love", "Life", "Movement", "Man Of Words", and "Untitled Dirge".
