T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ This is really two albums in one, with a clear line ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of demarcation between two concepts. Roney says ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ that he wanted to "incorporate African rhythms with ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ a Nefertiti approach" on the whole CD, but ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Nefertiti easily overwhelms, even obliterates, the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ African element up until track six ("Village"), ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ where Steve Berrios' percussion and Robert Irving ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ III's synthesizers kick in. Now the music becomes ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ more interesting, sometimes following the direction ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi Sextet ù and the last ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ four tracks are appropriately linked to one another ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ by Berrios' interludes. The best track, "EBO," has ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ a great theme, an amalgam of Kind of Blue, Filles ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ de Kilimanjaro and Gil Evans, with Chick Corea's ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Fender Rhodes electric piano complementing Geri ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Allen's acoustic piano. You guessed it; by now, the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ boo birds have been out again accusing Roney of ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ being a Miles imitator. But the means are justified ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ here, because Roney creates thoughtful music within ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ his post-Miles idiom and, like his late idol, tries ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ to stretch himself. Besides, there was a good ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ reason for revisiting the past this time; the death ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of Roney's former employer and bandmate Tony ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Williams in 1997 made this album, though recorded ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ over three months earlier, a memorial ù unnervingly ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ so in the way Roney and drummer Lenny White follow ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ the Williams rhythmic method in Cole Porter's "I ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Love You." Also, Pharaoh Sanders puts in a pair of ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ (for him) rather safe cameo appearances ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ░ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓ ▐█████▓█ [ A B O U T .
