All Roads Are Made of the Flesh is a live album by Kip Hanrahan released in March 1995, featuring guests including Jack Bruce, Don Pullen, and Andy Gonzalez. It features tracks recorded live in Nijmegen, Copenhagen, Baden-Baden and New York. "Buddy Boldens Blues" was written by Jelly Roll Morton.[2]

Critical reception[edit]

The Lake Geneva Regional News described the first track, "Buddy Bolden's Blues", as "a step into next year".[3]

Writing for the Detroit Free Press, music reviewer Fernando Gonzalez wrote that All Roads Are Made of the Flesh "offers improbable combinations like Jack Bruce rubbing elbows with Charles Neville, Elisee Pyroneau and Giovanni Hidalgo in the song "...at the same time." Musically, All Roads stretches from the intimate version of Jelly Rolly Morton's "Buddy Bolden's Blues" sung by Bruce to the intense R&B-meets-free-jazz-meets-salsa and Cuban "conjunto" of "...at the same time"."[4]
