Other Dimensions In Music - Now

Review by Burak HAMZA

Other Dimensions In Music's latest album, Now, is a stunning collection of avant-garde jazz pieces that showcase the group's exceptional musicianship and improvisational skills. The quartet, consisting of Roy Campbell Jr. on trumpet, Daniel Carter on reeds, William Parker on bass, and Rashid Bakr on drums, creates a unique and captivating sound that blends free jazz, world music, and experimental sounds.

From the opening track "Now's the Time" to the closing notes of "The Call," the album takes the listener on a journey through a wide range of musical styles and moods. The group's improvisations are both complex and spontaneous, with each musician bringing their own unique voice to the mix.

One standout track is "The Oracle," which features Parker's powerful basslines and Bakr's dynamic drumming, creating a rhythmic foundation for Campbell and Carter's exploratory solos. The track builds to a frenzied climax before returning to a more meditative state.
