Our Take

The latest offering from the Prince Lasha Quintet, entitled "The Cry!," is a delightful mix of avant-garde jazz and whimsical charm. Lasha, known for his innovative approach to the alto saxophone, leads a talented group of musicians through a series of eclectic compositions that will leave you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure.

From the opening track, "The Cry," Lasha's piercing saxophone cuts through the air like a sonic knife, blending seamlessly with the funky rhythms laid down by the rest of the band. Tracks like "Crazy Time" and "Mystery" showcase Lasha's playful side, with quirky melodies and unexpected twists that keep you on your toes.

But it's not all fun and games on "The Cry!" Tracks like "Desolation" and "Reflections" delve into darker territory, with haunting saxophone solos and brooding basslines that will send shivers down your spine. Lasha's ability to switch between moods with such ease is a testament to his skill as a composer and bandleader.

Overall, "The Cry!" is a captivating listen that defies expectations and challenges the listener to think outside the box. With its mix of playful melodies and experimental soundscapes, this album is a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts looking for something a little bit different. Prince Lasha and his quintet have truly outdone themselves with this one - a true masterpiece of modern jazz.
