Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released posthumously after his sudden death at age 31, this compilation gathers unreleased alternate takes and session material from the highly promising alto saxophonist. His sharply emotive, slightly piercing tone cuts through the classic hard bop arrangements, offering a tantalizing glimpse of a developing voice cut tragically short. It serves as a poignant, deeply swinging final document of his immense potential.
