Trumpter and composer Theo Croker is back and back with a bang! ‘Escape Velocity’ is an album title that aptly sums up a lot of the hard, frantic funk edged jazz blowouts here and with a generous 15 tracks it’s hard to pick out one defining moment – the blend of hard bop and spiritual with thundering funk undertones and rapid tempos will please fans of Kamasi Washington and Myron Glasper in particular. The B-3 laced ‘We Can’t Breathe’ stands out, ‘This Could Be’ has a bossa feel in the rhythm and is less frenetic, ‘In Orbit’ swings and sways and soars into the cosmos, Roy Ayers’ ‘Love From The Sun’ is the only vocal track on the set: a spacey, dreamlike intro giving way to a solid dance beat and the languid vocals of Dee Dee Bridgewater doing the original justice while ‘Changes’ has an afro-funk feels with that B-3 screaming out again. So many high points on this wicked album!
