O’s Notes: The Black Art Jazz Collective is Wayne Escoffery (sax), Jeremy Pelt (t), James Burton III (tb), Xavier Davis (p), Vicente Archer (b) and Jonathan Blake (d). The band comes together like a good stew, neither overcooked nor under-baked with complimenting blended flavors. Each musician respects the soloist and provides supportive accents. The result is passion on the ballads and high energy on the burners making“Armor of Pride“a notable set.
