Lester Bowie - Works
Review by Gregory Doxtater
Lester Bowie's album Works showcases the trumpeter's remarkable talent and innovative approach to jazz. The album features a diverse range of musical styles, from the funky and playful "For Louie" to the hauntingly beautiful "The Third Word: Oska T." Bowie's use of unconventional instruments such as the conch shell and the cowbell adds a unique flavor to the compositions.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Rose Drop," which features Bowie's signature "squealing" trumpet style and a driving rhythm section. The track is a testament to Bowie's improvisational skills and his ability to push the boundaries of jazz.
Another highlight of the album is the epic "The Fourth Word: Amen." Clocking in at over 22 minutes, the track is a tour de force of Bowie's musical vision. It begins with a haunting trumpet solo before building to a frenzied climax with the full band. Bowie's use of repetition and layering creates a hypnotic effect that draws the listener in.
