Album Notes & Community Reviews
Pianist and composer Anthony Davis bridges classical composition with avant-garde jazz improvisation on 'Middle Passage'[cite: 1]. The solo piano pieces are highly structural and technically demanding, reflecting historical themes of the African diaspora through complex, dissonant harmonic languages. The album perfectly exemplifies the intellectual rigor and emotional depth of the 1980s Third Stream movement.
