Review

March of the Jazz Guerillas is as much a socio-political statement as a musical one. Bay Area percussionist and activist Babatunde Lea is an established jazz session player, having worked with Pharaoh Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson and others. Here he’s supported by a worthy cast that includes pianist Hilton Ruiz, bassist Alex Blake, saxophonist Richard Howell and fellow percussionist Bill Summer. Lea even enlists the fervent singing of Norman Black’s Vernacular Choir on several tracks. March of the Jazz Guerillas dances between jazz and Afro-Cuban music, holding steadfast to Lea and Blake’s unwavering grooves while their cohorts play heady bebop melodies. “The Creator Has a Master Plan” begins with Yoruba bata drumming, punctuated by Lea’s trap-set, before segueing into a Sun Ra-styled R&B ballad. Howell and Ruiz solo, and the coda again hints at African roots, with the Vernacular Choir joining in with gleeful praise. –Robert Kaye — From Rhythm Magazine
