The music of Michael Carvin is always a revelation - a joyous, soulful outpouring of feeling that never fails to move us - and which always makes us wonder why more folks don't treasure gems like this that he made as a leader! Carvin's drum work is filled with energy from the get-go - but never in a too-showy, too-unbridled sort of way - just perfectly-balanced, perfectly-timed sense of rhythm that really seems to inspire the key players he's gathered around him. For this date, the lineup is especially nice - Claudio Roditi and Cecil Bridgewater on trumpets, Sonny Fortune on alto sax and flute, Cyrus Chestnut on piano, and David Williams on bass. John Hicks sits on on piano on one track - and the album's got some of the free-soaring spirituality that you'll find in Sonny Fortune's best work as a leader. Titles include Morning, Revelation, Effi, Thabo, Avotcja, and We Three Kings.

Very vibrant work from trumpeter Wallace Roney - the sort of record that seems to burst out strongly even on the ballads - which is no surprise, given
