Phoenix

Description

'Phoenix' is the new album - highly anticipated - and unexpected in the musical evolution of alto saxophonist and composer Lakecia Benjamin, and the first for Whirlwind Recordings.
The album was produced by Terri Lyne Carrington, a multiple Grammy Award winner, and features a very impressive list of "guests": Dianne Reeves, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Patrice Rushen, Sonia Sanchez, Angela Davis, and Wayne Shorter.
The group is composed of trumpeter Josh Evans, Victor Gould on keyboards, Orange Rodriguez on synthesizers, drummer Enoch (EJ) Strickland, percussionist Nêgah Santos, and bassist Ivan Taylor.
Trumpeter Wallace Roney Jr., High Note's favorite artist, Rhodes organist Anastassiya Petrova, and bassist Jahmal Nichols join the lineup.
