On “Quarantine” sequencers throw patterns that confuse the iconic House riffs of Patti (Day) and Jamie (Principle) while funky guitar, live bass and percussion go about their thang. A “Love To Love You” moan backs the strong Gospel-schooled voice of Louis Howard Jones as he recites an American poem, a New York poem, of drag queens and lives of trouble, a Paris burning. “Padre Pray For Us” puts Cuban Eikel Venegas Hernandez` “Masekela” brass over staccato keys, Latino rhythms and an “Egyptian Reggae” hook. The combination has Mulatu Astatke “Go Bang!”, tape capturing the shouts of encouragement from the crowd.
