This 80-minute live précis is all highlights, adding string quartet to his own, with William Menefield's dazzling piano and long-time collaborator Edwin Bayard's titanic saxophone. Mark Lomax II & the Urban Art Ensemble, 400 Years Suite (CFG Multimedia) Lomax is a drummer, who should rank as a top composer but remains little known, teaching in Columbus and self-releasing superb albums, that culminated in 2019's monumental 400: An Afrikan Epic, 12-hours that capture the whole African-American experience and genius.

Seven Storey Mountain VI features female voices interpolating the words and melody of the staunchly feminist Peggy Seeger song "Reclaim the Night," but the piece's harrowing journey also felt like a powerful and hopeful sound track for 2020.
But the goal is always the same: forging a soaring structured improvisation reaching for the ecstatic and concluding with a cathartic denouement. Nate Wooley, Seven Storey Mountain VI (Pyroclastic) 82 (10) Each version of this work from trumpeter Nate Wooley follows the same basic compositional arc, altering the instrumentation a bit with each new installment over the last decade.

Which is the kind of monument we'd all like to leave behind. Though regarded as a last testament in the wake of Heath's death at the age of 93 last January, Love Letter sure doesn't feel final rather as though its leader is summoning a hard jolt of giddy-yap for the next album. Jimmy Heath, Love Letter (Verve) 101.5 (13) In each of these tracks, the power of Jimmy Heath's playing emerges in its conceptual energy, the soft glow and austere intricacy of his thematic variations.
