'There's 'A New Kind of Dance' by Mike Reed's People, Places & Things on 482 Music [REVIEW]

For his sixth CD with his longstanding People, Places & Things Quartet, drummer/composer/impresario Mike Reed has concocted 'A New Kind Of Dance' (482 Music). As with previous CDs by this quartet, he has sweetened the pot again by inviting guests. This time Matthew Shipp on piano and trumpet man Marquis Hill (who makes Reed's usual two-sax attack that much more powerful) join in. The result is a wild joyride through originals and carefully chosen covers of tunes you would expect (Billy Strayhorn's "Star Crossed Lovers") and tunes you would not expect ("Fear Not of Man" by rapper Mos Def and "Markovsko Horo," a traditional Bulgarian folk dance).
