Review
by Scott Yanow
This excellent outing by multi-reedist Ken McIntyre ranges musically in his ten originals from a blues, the ballad "Charlotte," and a tribute to John Coltrane ("Sea Train") to freer pieces. McIntyre is heard on alto, flute, bassoon, oboe and bass clarinet and is joined by a stimulating rhythm section consisting of pianist Jaki Byard (who plays electric piano on the title cut), bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Andrei Strobert. The post-bop music is consistently inventive and easily recommended.

Biography
by Scott Yanow
A versatile player with a thoughtful style who can play quite freely, Ken McIntyre has never been a major name in jazz despite his talents. After serving in the military and graduating from the Boston Conservatory, he arrived in New York in 1960 and made a strong impression. He recorded two albums for New Jazz that year, including one on which he held his own against Eric Dolphy. McIntyre also led two now-scarce records for United Artists during 1962-1963 (including one titled Way Way Out) but became involved in education, teaching in public schools starting in 1961. He continued playing on a part-time basis (recording with Cecil Taylor in 1966). McIntyre led five albums for SteepleChase during 1974-1978, including his definitive set Hindsight (which finds him spotlighting each of his five horns in a quartet). He also recorded with Craig Harris in 1983 and put together an Eric Dolphy tribute set for Serene in 1991, but Ken McIntyre never gained the recognition he deserved. In the early '90s, he adopted the first name of Makanda and in June 2001, he released his first recording in years, entitled A New Beginning. Multi-instumentalist and music educator Dr. Makanda Ken McIntyre passed away at the age of 69 as a result of a heart attack on Wednesday, June 13, 2001, at his home in Harlem, NY .

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Esta excelente salida del multireedista Ken McIntyre varía musicalmente en sus diez originales desde un blues, la balada "Charlotte", y un homenaje a John Coltrane ("Sea Train") hasta piezas más libres. McIntyre toca el contralto, la flauta, el fagot, el oboe y el clarinete bajo, y está acompañado por una estimulante sección rítmica formada por el pianista Jaki Byard (que toca el piano eléctrico en el corte que da título al disco), el bajista Reggie Workman y el batería Andrei Strobert. La música post-bop es consistentemente inventiva y fácilmente recomendable.

Biografía
por Scott Yanow
Un músico versátil con un estilo reflexivo que puede tocar con bastante libertad, Ken McIntyre nunca ha sido un nombre importante en el jazz a pesar de su talento. Después de servir en el ejército y graduarse en el Conservatorio de Boston, llegó a Nueva York en 1960 y causó una fuerte impresión. Ese año grabó dos álbumes para New Jazz, incluido uno en el que se enfrentó a Eric Dolphy. McIntyre también dirigió dos discos, ahora escasos, para United Artists durante 1962-1963 (incluido uno titulado Way Way Out), pero se dedicó a la educación, dando clases en escuelas públicas a partir de 1961. Siguió tocando a tiempo parcial (grabando con Cecil Taylor en 1966). McIntyre dirigió cinco álbumes para SteepleChase durante 1974-1978, incluido su conjunto definitivo Hindsight (en el que destaca cada una de sus cinco trompas en un cuarteto). También grabó con Craig Harris en 1983 y preparó un conjunto de homenaje a Eric Dolphy para Serene en 1991, pero Ken McIntyre nunca obtuvo el reconocimiento que merecía. A principios de los 90, adoptó el nombre de Makanda y en junio de 2001 publicó su primera grabación en años, titulada A New Beginning. El multiinstrumentista y educador musical Dr. Makanda Ken McIntyre falleció a la edad de 69 años como consecuencia de un ataque al corazón el miércoles 13 de junio de 2001 en su casa de Harlem, Nueva York.
