Coming Home Jamaica

Tienda On Coming Home Jamaica, the Art Ensemble of Chicago bust out of the gate with a tune called "Grape Escape," and it's clear from the start of the set that they're serious about having a good time. Led by the bounding bass of Malachi Favors, Lester Bowie's trumpet and Roscoe Mitchell's saxes blow exuberantly on (and off) the beat being delivered by a splashy-sounding Famoudou Don Moye. It's an interplay so intuitive sounding, so spot-on that it could only be the AEC. From there, the Art Ensemble tackles an array of tunes: a plaintive "Jamaica Farewell"; a mysterious "Mama Wants You" that morphs into a sleek, groove-riding vamp; a ska-influenced "Strawberry Mango"; and a pensive "Malachi" that features soft microblowing around a tender theme. The album returns to its upbeat mood for the closer, "Lotta Colada," a bumping, Caribbean-flavored jaunt (the album was recorded in Jamaica in 1995) that affords plenty of room for Lester and Roscoe to dance their horns around the room. You'll be tempted to join them. An upbeat and entirely enjoyable effort. --S. Duda
