Master drummer/multi-instrumentalist Tyshawn Sorey possesses a rare gift for blending composed and improvised material into richly rewarding forms. His new double album — recorded live at The Jazz Gallery — reimagines and reframes Members, Don’t Git Weary, the landmark 1968 work by Max Roach, with the support of a brilliant quintet. Trumpeter Adam O’Farrill and saxophonist Mark Shim ignite the frontline, while the volcanic rhythm section features rising younger-generation talents: pianist Lex Korten and bassist Tyrone Allen. The result is astonishing — a series of expansive, long-form explorations shaped by open modal frameworks and fearless interaction. Like the album that inspired it, Members…Don’t! emphasizes resilience amid social unrest.
