Ernest Dawkins’ New Horizons Ensemble – Mean Ameen (2004)

The “Mean Ameen” in the title is the New Horizons’ late trumpeter Ameen Muhammad-who, if the vibrant and ebullient music contained herein is any indication, was anything but mean. Muhammad died in 2003 at the age of 48. The depth of love and respect bandleader/saxophonist Ernest Khabeer Dawkins feels for his longtime friend is well expressed here.
