O’s Notes: Darryl Yokley is a saxophonist, composer, and educator who leads the band Sound Reformation on their third album, Un Mundo en Soledad. Zaccai Curtis (keyboards), Luques Curtis (b), and Wayne Smith Jr. (d) are the core rhythm section along with guest percussionist Little Johnny Rivero. We enjoyed the mellow Latin flavor on “Melquiades, Los Gitanos, Y La Profecia”, the cool calypso and fine solos on “Los Matrimonious Maltidos”, “El Duelo”, and the rich saxophone and piano on “Despues De La Guerra”.
