Buddy Bolden's Blues; ...and at the same time, as the subway train was leaving thebstation...; The First and Last to Love Me (4, December); the September dawn shows itself to elizabeth and her lover on east 18th street in manhattan; the same dawn, at almost the exact same moment, actually smiles at don in pasiac; within an hour, in new orleans, charles knows the light's in the room without even opening his eyes; The First and Last to Love Me (2, October)
All Roads Are Made of the Flesh occupies an unusual place in the discography of producer Kip Hanrahan. Rather than being a unified musical statement, the album is a collection of pieces that didn't fit into other projects. Among the highlights are a Jelly Roll Morton cover featuring Jack Bruce (vocals) with New Orleans legends Allen Toussaint (piano) and Charles Neville (tenor sax), as well as a luminous piano solo by Don Pullen and two versions of Hanrahan's signature tune "The First and Last to Love Me" (one vocal, the other instrumental). All works on All Roads Are Made of the Flesh feature members of Hanrahan's fiercely loyal core group of musicians, providing the album with a consistent sound and consistently fine playing. The album is a deeply satisfying introduction to the range, if not the depth, of Kip Hanrahan's work. ~ Peter Nappi, All Music Guide
