Ernest Dawkins’ New Horizons Ensemble – The Prairie Prophet
Delmark DE 598
Compact Disc (2011)
Ernest Dawkins formed his New Horizons Ensemble in 1978 and on The Prairie Prophet, the group continues to create music that showcases their unique combination of jazz, bebop, swing, and avant-garde. The Chicago Tribune describes them as “a band with an uncommon versatility that erupts into new music bursts of dissonance and color. This band can enlighten an audience while enthralling it.” The Prairie Prophet is New Horizons Ensemble’s fifth Delmark CD and features Ernest Dawkins, saxophone; Steve Berry, trombone; Marquis Hill, trumpet, Jeff Parker, guitar; Junius Paul, bass; Isaiah Spencer, drums. Contains all new original Ernest Dawkins compositions. This CD is dedicated to Fred Anderson.
Ernest Dawkins’ New Horizons Ensemble – The Messenger: Live At The Original Velvet Lounge
Delmark DE 570
Compact Disc (2006) – Also Available on DVD!
AACM saxophonist/composer/bandleader Ernest Dawkins brought his New Horizons Ensemble into the Velvet Lounge on July 14, 2005 for this live CD knowing it would be one of the groups’ last performances at the historic “old” Velvet Lounge, now closed–its last night open was April 1, 2006. Trumpeter Maurice Brown has been gaining much critical acclaim and popularity in the last two years. His return to Chicago from New Orleans for this gig is a wonderful addition to the group of Steve Berry, trombone; Darius Savage, bass and Isaiah Spencer, drums.
