Pianist\/composer Anthony Davis (who wrote all of the music for the set) is joined by violinist Leroy Jenkins, cellist Abdul Wadud, and drummer Pheeroan akLaff on the three-part \"Suite for Another World\" and \"Estraven,\" while taking \"Of Blues and Dreams\" as a solo piano feature. The music is episodic and somewhat cinematic, with some intriguing interplay among the musicians even if the overall project is not overly memorable. Worth a couple listens. ~ Scott Yanow","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46552128880927,"sku":"778132302025","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/29716290c4ea5e80850e04ef29990244.jpg?v=1777953336","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/of-blues-and-dreams","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
