Acclaimed saxophonist Mark Turner's new recording, Reflections on: The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, will attract attention not only for the brilliant playing, but also for the very forthright topic of a bi-racial man able to "pass" as white. Turner used as his motivation the semi-fictional account written by James Weldon Johnson, a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance &a key member of the Civil Rights movement, and the fact that passing as white happened in Turner's own family. Other new music sampled comes from Ivo Perelman & Nate Wooley together for the fourth time, one of the late trumpeter Herb Robertson's last recordings (with the Klaus Kugel / Christopher Dell/Christian Ramond trio from Germany), vocalist Laura Ann Singh, and several new ones from Europe: the Polish quartet O.N.E., Italian trumpeter Tomasso Iacoviello, Swedish guitarist Johan Lindstrom and the German duo Hobby Housedrummer Axel Filip & saxophonistMia Dyberg). The show closes with a track by Heroes Are Gang Leaders in remembrance of band co-founder, poet & activist Thomas Sayers Ellis.Playlist
