ALBUM

Detroit once had a great jazz scene, with some musicians moonlighting at Motown and elsewhere. Now bassist/composer Dave Sharp—coming out of the highly esteemed University of Michigan music program—makes his bid with the Secret 7 (and a lot of guests) to add new life to the Motor City and beyond. He does this by also looking elsewhere, creating a soundscape that blends various strains of jazz with African and Indian music. The album opens with the sunny Afropop of “Sherehe,” which doesn’t go on nearly as long as it should. It’s followed by the Africa–by–way–of–New Orleans groove “Nu Africa,” which features (in a major coup) the great Senegalese singer Cheikh Lo. The gaze then turns to India for several songs that range from the plaintive chanting of “Return” and the Bollywood-esque “Kalinjar,” with fine vocals by Parthiv Gohil. Gary Schunk's jazz piano is added to the mix particularly well on “Mystery Blues” but can also be heard elsewhere in these songs. This is again proof of jazz's adaptability, and it certainly announces Sharp as someone with noteworthy global ambitions.
