We want our Tyshawn back

Strange gig from Tyshawn Sorey so far. Well, not really strange. It’s good music, Ingrid Laubrock and Kris Davis are on form, most of the material is written by Sorey and sounds distinct, they don’t just play stuff, they are a band, but … Tyshawn Sorey does not play like Tyshawn Sorey. I mean like I think he should. That static groove thing, that Steve Coleman thing with the jittery snare, where it would take you a week to just program him over four measures. He doesn’t do that. That surely is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. We want our Tyshawn back! Please sign the petition below.
