New Orleans musicians and New Age music are an unlikely mix. But trumpeter Kevin Clark gave his melodies to jazz pianist Matt Lemmler to reconfigure; the result is the instrumental backdrop for a narration of poems by Walt Whitman, Rumi, Ralph Waldo Emerson and others. If you like New Age concepts and slow music to meditate to (as I do), you will enjoy this. Every aspect of the CD is well-executed. Any project that gets these scribes’ words out there in the ether is a worthwhile endeavor; a nice example of what New Orleans musicians can accomplish when they want to stretch.
