Album Notes & Community Reviews
The polyrhythmic genius and former Coltrane drummer assembled a spectacular multi-reed ensemble featuring Joe Farrell, George Coleman, and Pepper Adams.[cite: 1] The incredibly dense, high-energy sessions navigate complex post-bop structures and deep spiritual jazz grooves, entirely driven by his thunderous, highly interactive percussive engine.[cite: 1] It stands as one of his most compositionally sophisticated and rhythmically aggressive dates for Blue Note.[cite: 1]
