Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded exclusively for the Japanese market, the Texas-born tenor saxophonist leads his quintet through an incredibly fiery, high-energy session. The compositions blend the aggressive, hard-swinging architecture of post-bop with the deep, searching intensity of the spiritual jazz movement. Driven by Harper's massive, Coltrane-influenced tone, the album has become highly sought after by collectors of heavy, uncompromising acoustic jazz.
