Montreal Mirror, CD Review >>
By Erin MacLeod
The latest in a series of collaborations between Steve Reid, perhaps the hippest drummer alive, and young ’un Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), Daxaar sees Reid returning to Africa for the first time in four decades. Working alongside Senegalese musicians, Reid’s goal was to encourage spontaneity and “just play.” Though the album kicks off with “Welcome,” a track combining kora and light-as-air vocals (courtesy of Isa Kouyate), the balance of Daxaar is a rhythmic trip. Guitarist Jimi Mbaye shines alongside the funky organ of Boris Netsvetaev. This is trance-y free jazz with a twist, music to close your eyes and bob your head to. 8/10 02/13/08 >> go there
