Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding his sonic palette for his major-label debut, the veteran saxophonist augmented his trio with cello and expanded percussion. The deeply exploratory sessions prominently feature his unique technique of humming and vocalizing through the mouthpiece, resulting in an eerie, highly distinctive textural approach to avant-garde improvisation.
