by David Murray Octet

Recorded in Milan for the highly respected Italian avant-garde label, this brilliant session features the virtuosic tenor saxophonist leading a powerhouse ensemble of American free jazz luminaries. 'Murray's Steps' masterfully balances complex, highly structured post-bop compositions with completely unhinged, fiercely expressive group improvisation, heavily featuring cornetist Butch Morris and trombonist Craig Harris. The critically acclaimed recording stands as a definitive triumph of 1980s progressive jazz arranging.
