What do Lionel Martin, a saxophonist with an earthy vibe whose sound has been shaped by years spent exploring the byways of punk jazz, and Sangoma Everett, a drummer exuding polyrhythmic elegance whose sticks have been steeped in a grand tradition honed with Clifford Jordan, Dizzy Gillespie, Memphis Slim, and Eddy Louiss, have in common? Many things, if we look beyond mere appearances, starting with an openness to the world of music, as their respective journeys demonstrate. This suggestive plurality is evident in this album, which plays on their individual uniqueness. It is through this exchange that the tribute finds its full meaning.
