The Key Of Life (recorded in 2005) documents Dewey Redman's last
performance. Redman died in 2006. The two sessions on this CD give
tribute to and extend the parameters of two monumental traditions in
music. The first from the infinitely deep musical well of Ornette
Coleman and associates; the second from Sun Ra and his musical
collaborators. David shows an important ability not all jazzmen have in
abundance, the ability to respond and dialog with the musicians at hand
without losing musical identity. He does it superbly with Dewey Redman
and Ed Blackwell, and then in a different yet equally effective way with
Marshall Allen and company. web
