Around the time of this recording, Stanley Cowell had achieved a degree of
prominence as the pianist for the advanced bop quartet Music Inc., which he
co-led with trumpeter Charles Tolliver, as well as for unusual projects like his
Piano Choir. With Regeneration he chose another path, essentially trying to
produced a jazz-infused pop album with strong African roots, perhaps owing a
little bit to Stevie Wonder. He assembled an extremely strong cast of musicians
for the venture, including Marion Brown, Billy Higgins, and Ed Blackwell, as
well as several African string and percussion masters and, by and large,
succeeded conceptually if not commercially. A few songs use vocals in a fairly
standard pop framework, and, while they are performed capably enough, the
lyrical content leaves something to be desired in typical mid-70s fashion. But
much of the rest of the music makes up for this with, among other things, a
delightful fife and drum piece by Brown and strong bass work by Bill Lee (Spikes
dad). Regeneration is an interesting, often enjoyable album which, aside from
its own small pleasures, provides a snapshot of some of the cross-fertilization
in genres occurring at the time.~Brian Olewnick
