Title: campbell and the dynamic duo
Product review: the pyramid trio, roy campbell on trumpet, william parker on bass and hamid drake, interact on percussive instruments on some selections to create moving effects. parker plays shakuhachi flute on impressions of yokahama to deepen an asian sound. i particularly like imhotep and the extended playing by drake and parker. amadou diallo, a requiem for a man shot 41 times by police in his own vestible in nyc, is so well constructed as to evoke tears at times, parker utilizes hand drums and snare drums, an african drum rhythm played with campbell's horn fluttering a dirge, followed by drake's tension filled bass solo is prelude to campbell's lonely trumpet, with the piece concluding with sharp staccato blasts recalling drake's hand drum, while mimicing the sound of gunshots.contrary to categories, ethnic stew and brew is extremely melodic and highly accessible instrumental music.
