The In Between

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Making his debut as a leader for Blue Note Records, the powerhouse Texas tenor saxophonist delivered a fiercely intelligent, transitional post-bop session. Supported by a remarkably adventurous quintet that included trumpeter Richard Williams and pianist Bobby Few, the complex modal compositions frequently veer into fiery avant-garde territory. It perfectly encapsulates the restless, explorative energy of late 60s acoustic jazz.
