Sons of Kemet's tuba king Theon Cross delivers the good with his first solo album. Accompanied by Boyd's drums (always a pleasure), Cross goes for Afro-Jazz tunes that are *cool*. Still, he doesn't seem to know where to be: tuba ain't the most melodic instrument, but when he does go to the background, the other musicians (Nubya Garcia comes to mind) do not take the lead either because, well, it's a Theon Cross album. Despite this, Fyah shows promise and continues establishing Tomorrow's Warriors as the main force behind the modern London jazz scene.
