Out to Lunch: No One Left Behind

Read "No One Left Behind" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


Out to Lunch's No One Left Behind is comparable to collage- an art technique which integrates incongruent fragments, textures and visual forms into a cohesive work. Led by multi-instrumentalist David Levy, the New York-based ensemble at a cursory glance, might be a considered just another experimental jazz funk band.

First of all, any local jazz community outside of New York that can pull off a credible rendition of Eric Dolphy's landmark Out to Lunch is a metropolis worth celebrating. That's the present this quintet awards us.
