Published: March 28, 2020, 8 p.m.

b'Through his three prior Mack Avenue Music Group releases and his attention-grabbing work with the likes of Christian McBride, Bobby Watson, Karriem Riggins, Jeremy Pelt, and the SFJAZZ Collective, Warren Wolf has established himself as the foremost straight-ahead vibraphonist of his generation, a bop torchbearer well equipped to carry the mantle of forebears like Bobby Hutcherson and Milt Jackson.\\n\\nOn his latest album,\\xa0Warren Wolf\\xa0reveals an entirely different side to his multi-faceted talents. As the title implies,\\xa0Reincarnation\\xa0represents a rebirth of sorts for the Baltimore vibes man. In part, it frees Wolf to indulge his love for the R&B and soul hits that served as the soundtrack to his formative years in the 1990s. It\\u2019s also a celebration of a new lease on life, happiness, and contentment that he\\u2019s discovered through a new marriage and his five beloved children.\\n\\nFollow Warren on Facebook, Twitter/Instagram @warrenwolf1'
