This remarkable recording begins with "John Brown's Gun," Ellis' cutting-edge
jazz adaptation of a folk song he learned as a child on his grandmother's knee.
Pianist Aaron Goldberg, bassist Roland Guerin, and drummer Jason Marsalis join
the tenor saxophonist in riotous, swinging play, augmented at certain intervals
by the understated vocals of Bilal Oliver, who masterfully evokes the ghosts of
the South. Oliver reappears on "Nowny Dreams," another folk adaptation that
finds Goldberg switching to the hip but delicate Fender Rhodes. Ellis' haunting
free-form arrangement of "The Lonely Jesus" also boasts the sound of the Rhodes;
Oliver's peculiar incantations resurface, along with a mysterious female voice
listeners hear from again at the very end of the disc, on a hidden track that
follows Ellis' overdubbed woodwind-choir arrangement of "For All We Know." The
voice, one presumes, is a tape of Ellis' grandmother, singing the verse that
begins "John Brown's Gun." The effect is endearing and even magical; one is
struck by Ellis' generosity, as he shares with listeners this most intimate
source of inspiration. The remainder of the record is quite strong: Highlights
include the moody "Light-Headed," the 7/4 reading of "Confirmation," and
trumpeter Nicholas Payton's two guest appearances, on the pretty waltz "Ed" and
the piano-less swinger "Who." But it is the folk-inspired material that affords
Ellis an originality of the most striking sort.~David R. Adler
