Album Notes

A New York City native with a traditional straight ahead, modal jazz idiom background, saxophonist/composer Quanti Bomani, never one to be quantified, expanded his musical journeys to embrace the diasporic Afro-Caribbean influence. From his early days as a saxophonist with Maurice Miller through the eighties and playing with Ahmad Abdul Malik to performing in the World Caribbean Music Festival with Dominican star Ras Mo and the Mo and Mo Music Project, and playing horn for hip hop/R & B spoken word artiest Goldie the poet, Quanti's musical heritage diversified and exploded in the Quanti Bomani Quintet.

For Quanti, music is the root form of communication. From the beginning, with drums conveying a message of danger or a call to the marketplace, until today, the music's got to carry a message.

His new CD, "View of the World", is heavily influenced by that Afro-Caribbean experience layered with a socio-economic syntax that drives a beat straight from jazz to hip-hop. "After all, the world is diverse", Quanti explains. View of the World is a global sound from an Afro-centric perspective. Music shatters boundaries

Listening to this album is like playing the radio without having to flip the channels from jazz to hip-hop, or rhythm & blues to rock and back.
It's poetic, fluid, beautiful, sad, angry, anguished, insecure, hopeful
Sax. View of the World is political... and rhythmically correct.

this disc is tight, complex, and i can't stop listening to it. every song hits a different vibe which is so welcome after hearing the same old chords over and over again on the radio. this musician is a force to be reckoned with. pay attention, he's going on to big things.

Refreshingly creative jazz composition with a messaage for today
author: M Smith
                            
Each song delivers its own story with a solid jazz and R& B sound. "View of the World" is a creative collaboration of Afro-influences from straight-ahead jazz to Caribbean, R&B, hip-hop, and spoken word - one you will listen to from song one to the end. The melodies are swingin', the sax is interweaving, the bass is kickin' and the lyrics are revealing. I highly recommend this CD.
