Album Notes & Community Reviews
Functioning as the final recording project for legendary jazz drummer Tony Williams before his sudden death, this avant-garde jazz-fusion album is staggeringly complex. Featuring furious contributions from Pharoah Sanders and Buckethead, the chaotic, highly technical compositions blur the lines between free jazz and aggressive progressive rock.
