Review: To hear this music is to understand that vibraphonist Locke's stock neither rests solely with his four smoking mallets or his ability to pierce the psyche but, rather, with his gifts in rectifying said forces into one powerfully direct current. Blending the personal, the political, and the poetic into an artfully assembled package, Locke makes a profound statement about our times.
