Impulse US Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Irreversible Entanglements is the quintet of bassist Luke Stewart, vocalist and poet Camae Ayewa, saxophone player Keir Neuringer, drummer Tcheser Holmes and trumpeter Aquiles Navarro. They are a free jazz ensemble that is newly signed to Impulse! and impresses right off the bat with a superb label debut. It is one that melds together aspects of jazz and hip hop, spoken word, global musical cultural traditions and plenty of stunning improv skills The poetry that runs through the album is an insight into the Black experience with themes of love, power, community and liberation.
