Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing his highly distinctive, wide-interval approach to the tenor saxophone, Bennie Wallace thrives within an unrestrictive, acoustic trio setting. The recording benefits immensely from the muscular rhythmic support provided by bassist Dave Holland and drummer Elvin Jones, creating a deeply rooted yet conceptually modern jazz date.
