Garrett List, Bayard Lancaster, Genie Sherman, Ronald Shannon Jackson and Yousef Yancy.
Fire and Ice intriguingly sets the apocalyptic Robert Frost poem, with trumpeter Yousef Yancy as the ice and List as the fire. Haunting settings of vital dada poet Blaise Cendrars' incandescent lines and Sweetness, an ineffably lovely poem by Bayard Lancaster, whose alto parallels soaring synthesizer parabolas, and the riveting voice of Genie Sherman, whose sinuous, sibilant messages are those of purest conviction throughout the album.
