Drummer and Composer David Lee Jr.’s stunning and rare album ‘Evolution’ (1974) blends the deep experimentalism of John Coltrane and Sun Ra with the pulsating second-line and parade rhythms of New Orleans to create a stunning sonic and rhythmical tour de force. In a lineage of incredible New Orleans drummers that includes James Black, Idris Muhammed, Zigaboo Modeliste of The Meters, and stretching back to Earl Palmer and Baby Dodds – David Lee Jr. stands out for his fire, experimentalism and an out-there-ness like no other. ‘Evolution’ is a super deep, ‘lost classic’ radical and groundbreaking deep spiritual jazz album.
