Lamb, Andrew
Rhapsody In Black
Andrew Lamb's 'Rhapsody In Black' is a powerful live session from 2008 that captures the spirit of 1970s jazz, driven by Lamb's intense, spiritual sound akin to late-period John Coltrane. Backed by dual percussionists Michael Wimberly and Guillermo E. Brown, and bassist/tubaist Tom Abbs, the album exudes a ritualistic, ethnic vibe, with Lamb's impassioned tenor saxophone at the forefront. His haunting flute and conch shell add atmospheric layers to this dynamic set, which gradually builds to crescendos.With its rich, rhythmic backdrop and Lamb's fiery improvisations, 'Rhapsody In Black' offers a compelling live jazz experience. Perfect for collectors of spiritual jazz and fans of free improvisation, it's a notable addition to Lamb's under-the-radar discography.
