Hints of the exoticism and blues of Yusef Lateef are heard on this creative album by Carl Clements, playing tenor and soprano saxes as well as the traditional folk instrument bansuri flute. He’s joined by Chase Morrin/p, Bruno Raberg/b and Gen Yoshimura/dr for a collection of originals. His soprano glides well on the Latin “Onset” and agonizes on the spacious “A Different Light”, with his big sounding tenor bopping on “A New Leaf” . Asian textures from the f lute are featured on “Sanyon” , while Morrin shines on “Before Again” and the delicious “Absence/Return”. World wide ideas.
