Poet, procrastinator unissued until now, in this deluxe edition on Blue Note.This is just a snapshot of a great, month-long event of historic significance. Other remarkable artists have included Edward "Kidd" Jordan, Marc Ribot and Matana Roberts—and the trio Harriet Tubman. Grimes is too humble to steal the spotlight every night from his collaborators. That said, his work is so powerful and passionate; and the scope of his mind so amazingly absorbent, he is always felt—especially when he plays; but even when he is laying out, the musicians of his particular choosing still embody and magnify his vision, like light streaming from a star.
