Brian Blade & the Fellowship Band CD reviewed

Body And Shadow (Blue Note)Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band
If, like me, you’ve fervently followed Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band over the last two decades, you know that the unmistakeable and hugely influential group tends to takes one tack with its recordings and another when its performs. 
The group’s albums lean toward distilling the band’s music to its essence, elevating the material and the entire band’s sound above the egos of soloists stretching out.
