Live at the Sunset


Live at the Sunset is the fourth album by free jazz collective quartet Other Dimensions In Music, composed of trumpeter Roy Campbell, multi-instrumentalist Daniel [Carter |Daniel Carter], bassist William Parker and Hamid Drake replacing regular drummer Rashid Bakr. It was recorded at the Sunset club in Paris in 2006 and released on the French Marge label.

Reception

The All About Jazz review by Clifford Allen states "The sort of freedom engendered by ODIM is one that can call upon funeral marches and jubilee shouts as easily as Africanized tone-rows and triple-time barnstorming."
A writer for The Free Jazz Collective commented: "Drake and Parker play like they are one person with two bodies, and their rhythmic foundation supports the tonal soundscapes weaved by Campbell and Carter, who both have a huge background, but more importantly, they play with the rare combination of emotional and creative power... excellent free playing, moving naturally, rhythmically, full of intensity, full of spirituality and musical vision."
