"Serious and extraordinary work...What
is unique about this is that this sextet features the unique
instrumentation of alto & contrabass clarinets (both rare
clarinets for soloists), a bazantar (hybrid 5-string bass with
29 sympathetic strings & 4 drone strings) or sitar and cello
with electronics, piano, voice and percussion...a sublime and
mesmerizing blend. Absolutely riveting. Y'All does it again."

Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery

Vignettes
in the Spirit of Ellington
"This is a sonically gorgeous recording.
James Jabbo Ware beautifully orchestrates, exploiting the colors
of the various instruments to their fullest and frames the great
soloists in different ways from solo spot to solo spot."

Lo Kee, AllAboutJazz-New York

SOMETHING
IS COMING
“...Couterpoint, meter shifts, tempo changes,
dissonant harmonies, collective improvisation, and more are
combined in a virtuosic manipulation of musical resources by
a composer whose excellence has been recognized by grants from
a number of prestigious arts organizations.”
-David Franklin (Cadence Aug. 2002) |

“...lapping textures that shimmer and
mesmerize and kick and roar sometimes in rapid succession,
sometimes all at once. Even as it throws some fascinating
curves, it stays accessible because it's visceral; its basic
contours seem familiar, not forbidding. And it’s smooth
and sweet and funky and witty.”
-Gene Santoro (PULSE! - Oct. 1992)

J.D.
PARRAN & Spirit Stage
Featuring the Poetry of Shirley LeFlore.
Artistically, Shirley and J.D. are products
of MidSouth culture: that human flow from DeepSouth. During
the civil rights era they participated in the development of
the St. Louis Black Artists Group (BAG) which was active throughout
the late 60’s.
Inspired by their many shared performances, J.D. formed Spirit
Stage in order to express this continuum in the 1990’s,
pickin’ cotton and tobacco, praising God, stylin’,
partyin’, or groovin’ to blues, jazz and world music.

Harold
Ashby Plays Duke Ellington
“...one can almost picture - and hear -
Ellington’s band wailing behind him as Ashby frames his
quavering, soulful choruses. In other words, he plays the tenor
Ellington-style. Ashby and his co-workers have no trouble making
the ride a pleasure no matter how slowly the wheels are turning.
Everyone works wonderfully together...”
-Jack Bowers (Cadence - April 2002)
Harold Ashby became a permanent member of the
Duke Ellington band on July 5, 1968 and stayed with the band
through “the last tour”, playing concerts in the Fall
of ’73 at Westminster Abbey and for the Queen of England
in London, England and in Addis Ababa, Africa for his Imperial
Highness, Emperor Hallie Selassie.
