Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded shortly after his tenure with Ornette Coleman, the cornetist leads a fiercely uninhibited quartet featuring Pharoah Sanders on tenor saxophone. The piano-less ensemble navigates complex, high-velocity themes before erupting into blistering free-form improvisations, resulting in one of the era's most aggressive and fiery acoustic jazz dates.
