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
