New Vernon Reid lp:Other True Self

sounds cool






Vernon Reid & Masque – “Other True Self”

$13.98

On Other True Self, Vernon Reid exposes a vivid personal landscape. Each track illuminates one or another side of Vernon Reid: his African lineage in "Prof. Bebey," the Latin flavor of the melodies he casts over Hank Schroy's bass pulse and Don McKenzie's crisp reggae rhythm bed in "Flatbush and Church Revisited," the exhilaration of his unison sprint with keyboardist Leon Gruenbaum on "Game is Rigged," the swirling Middle Eastern energies in "Mind of My Mind."

Other True Self, then, is a sonic kaleidoscope, a tumble of colors and a whirl of astonishing visions. Yet as far as Reid is concerned, it's just one step forward on a possibly endless - and endlessly rewarding - mission.

hmmm I wonder if he's referring to that intersection in B'klyn (Flatbush Ave & Church Ave) where all the Erasmus H.S. students hung out.

When I left, that neighborhood's population was becoming very West Indian which may explain the flavor of the tune.
