专辑简介
Review by Thom Jurek
Urban Mythology, Vol. 1 is the debut recording by the superstar power trio of guitarist Vernon Reid, bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma, and drummer Grant Calvin Weston under the moniker of the Free Form Funky Freqs. This disc is actually only the third-ever performance by the band. The first was an informal get-together among old friends and collaborators for the closing of New York's Tonic performance space. They played a second show before entering a studio to make this fiery outing. For starters, the pedigrees of all three men should be mentioned and where the lines intersect. Reid is well-known as the guitar hero fueling the overdriven rock attack of hitmakers Living Colour. Before that he played guitar with Ronald Shannon Jackson's decoding society, and has of late been producing and playing on James Blood Ulmer's records, which is where all three intersect. Reid is also half of the Yohimbe Brothers with DJ Logic. Weston and Tacuma were members of Ornette Coleman's groundbreaking electric Prime Time band in the middle of the 1970s, and all three have been part of Ulmer's recordings as well. As for this date, the booklet sleeve states emphatically that no additional guitar, bass, or drum parts were overdubbed. Reid added some electronic sounds and samples later on, but essentially what you hear is what happened when this trio got together to make a record. Clocking in at just under an hour, this is a wild ride into the unconscious worlds of freakout guitar rock, funk, jazz, and "other" music.
