Item Information Artists Name: BOND, DAVID / DEWEY REDMAN / ED BLACKWELL / MARSHALL ALLEN Title: THE KEY OF LIFE Format: CD Label: VINEYARD RECORDS City Hall Catalog Number:  405 UPC Product Code: 725543040527 List Price: 16.98 Musical Category:  JAZZ Release Date:  11/17/2009 Additional Musical Category Notes:   The two sessions on this CD give tribute to and extend the parameters of two monumental traditions in music. The first from the infinitely deep musical well of Ornette Coleman and associates; the second from Sun Ra and his musical collaborators. David shows an important ability not all jazzmen have in abundance, the ability to respond and dialog with the musicians at hand without losing musical identity. He does it superbly with Dewey Redman and Ed Blackwell, and then in a different yet equally effective way with Marshall Allen and company. Tracks: Dewey's Beat, Key Of Life, Rise Up, Klee's Machine, Moon Over Eastern Sky, Sun Ra Swing.
