As the Black Nationalist movement was pronounced in those days, the Loud Minority fit in quite well, and spoke to a generation of listeners who were prone to accept their protestations against racism, oppression, and the immoral Vietnam War. This version, recorded a handful of years later, was a more refined and hard swinging musical effort, leaving the vocal outspokenness to the side, concentrating on the highly composed and arranged instrumental charts of Foster's making. Two recording sessions done a full year apart with slightly different 21 piece lineups feature Foster's still fearless approach to modern and progressive big-band music, accented by a multi-layered precept that in some ways reflects his time with Count Basie, but speaks more to the advanced Tadd Dameron/Oliver Nelson/Thad Jones-Mel Lewis sound distinctly rooted in Duke Ellington. Foster is ever mindful of how the individual voices of his bandmembers shape the music, but solos are reserved only for the leader's tenor or soprano saxophone, as well as trumpeter Sinclair Acey and trombonist Kiane Zawadi. ~ Michael G.
