Our Take

Ah, strap in for a wild ride with the latest release from jazz aficionados Matt Lavelle and Reggie Sylvester: Retrograde. This album is a kaleidoscopic journey through time and space, blending elements of free jazz, funk, and avant-garde to create a sonic experience like no other.

Lavelle's virtuosic trumpet playing is on full display, weaving intricate melodies that soar and dip with precision and grace. Sylvester's drumming provides the perfect backbone, propelling the music forward with a relentless energy that never lets up.

From the frenetic energy of tracks like "Cosmic Boogie" to the hypnotic groove of "Solar Flare", Retrograde keeps you on your toes from start to finish. The interplay between Lavelle and Sylvester is nothing short of mesmerizing, as they push each other to new heights with every note.

But what truly sets Retrograde apart is its sense of playfulness and experimentation. The duo fearlessly explores new sonic territory, never content to rely on tired tropes or cliches. This is music that defies categorization, constantly evolving and surprising the listener at every turn.

In a sea of cookie-cutter jazz albums, Retrograde stands out as a shining beacon of creativity and originality. Lavelle and Sylvester have crafted a masterpiece that demands to be heard, a bold statement from two artists at the top of their game. Don't sleep on this one, folks - Retrograde is a triumph in every sense of the word.
