Frank-Lowe-Out-Loud-FnlOn Out Loud an album of immense beauty this aspect of
his playing is thrown into sharp focus. There are moments when the air in the
two venues is thick with sound—musical epiphanies seemingly experienced by both
Mr. Lowe and Joseph Bowie. The saxophone assumes the role of the preacher and
the trombone his congregation. The musical call to prayer has a sense of
urgency—the kind that comes from having a sense of something or someone else
being behind the music; a conscious awareness that the musicians are sensing
their own sense of mortality. This, though, provides the musicians with a sort

“Act of Freedom.” This musical declaration of independence is not played as if
it were a manifesto, although it could well have become that. This is the ‘70’s

John Coltrane and the more recent passing of Albert Ayler. But it is not as if
this is the sole impulse for the music.
