Title: An odd mix of light and dark
Review: Sam Newsome, who has played with Leon Parker and Wesley Haynes, offers both jazz-lite horn styling and funky grooves on this CD. Depending on your preference, you may find yourself programming certain cuts and skipping the rest. Cuts 4 and 6, with Greg Lewis getting a heavy, gritty sound from his B-3, are soul-stirring standouts on an otherwise uneven album. Check out Newsome's Global Unity work for a different side to this musician.
