Dennis Gonzalez Jnaana Septet - The Gift of Discernment

[randyhersom]

Enjoying this one. I first heard pianist Chris Parker on The Alvin Fielder Trio - A Measure of Vision album with Dennis completing the trio and he is a very good match for Dennis. Leena Conquest's contributions on a few tracks give the project a Strata-East vibe. Free music focusing on the lyrical side and not averse to a groove. eMusic has both.

if you're interested in buying the cd, order it directly from dennis. i've purchased numerous discs from him in the past (and isn't it nice when you have the chance to support the artist directly?). he has a very interesting website that's worth checking out. his cds are only $12 plus $1.60 shipping in the states. check the website for international orders.

here's the link. you can buy cds by clicking on the "store" icon: dennis gonzalez

btw, dennis might also have cdr-s of some his older recordings for sale. two of them include some good playing by a fellow board member.
