The Pianist Who Pioneered 70s Spiritual Jazz with Strata-East

"This remains a relative oddity in the pantheon of jazz's black consciousness movement — a solo piano set of stunning reach and scope, its adherence to intimacy contrasts sharply with the bold, multi-dimensional sensibilities that signify the vast majority of post-Coltrane excursions into spiritual expression."

—Light In The Attic

"Imagine seven gifted and talented pianists sitting down to seven grand pianos (with electric piano, organ, harpsichord, a few tambourines for spice) and proceeding to tear up these instruments (...) The torrrent of sound springing from their 70 fingers is so powerful and majestic as to be unlike anything one has ever heard."

—Phyl Garland (Album review in Ebony Magazine)

"With a delightful fife and drum piece by Brown and strong bass work by Bill Lee (Spike Lee’s dad!), 'Regeneration' provides a snapshot of some of the cross-fertilization in genres occurring at the time."

—Brian Olewnick (AllMusic review)
