Although the Nine Winds label is best known for the avant-garde music of its founder Vinny Golia, this quartet set with pianist Dave Ferris, tenor-saxophonist Bob Sheppard, bassist Eric Von Essen and drummer Kendall Kay (trumpeter Howie Shear sits in on "Rhythm 8") falls into the modern mainstream. Straightahead jazz fans will enjoy hearing the fresh new pieces and the many creative solos from Ferris and Sheppard. ~ AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow

In its most basic function, the music that makes up Sonic Creed serves as a mirror to African American life in the here and now. It explores the history, legacy, struggles, and joys of the Black community, speaking to all of it at once through sound and sentiment. Sonic Creed arrives almost a decade after this groove outfit's last showing Urbanus (Concord, 2009) but the time away hasn't hurt the band. If anything, Blackout has become a more limber group capable of carving out more capacious settings. With key personnel holdovers like drummer Terreon Gully and saxophonist Casey Benjamin, well-suited Blackout newcomers such as pianist James Francies and bassist Joshua Crumbly, and a handful of notable guests, there are new worlds of possibility to be found within this realm.
