When jazz musicians put bop in the rearview and branched out into avant-garde
and free jazz, they didn’t turn their backs on the blues. The inside-out
movement, in particular, is beguiling in the way it stretches jazz to its
limits, while also remaining tightly tethered to the blues. That mix of
tradition and experimentation has a rich history, marked by trailblazing
musicians who helped forge the early years of inside-out jazz. The quartet
Roots Magic honors some of those composers on their 2020 release. But Take Root
Among the Stars isn’t a historical reference book—it screams of today and
bursts with life. The music wears its heart on its sleeve. Clean Feed Records
is a haven for modern inside-out musicians, and there’s a credible argument to
be made that Roots Magic is currently carrying the torch for the future of jazz.
