Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured live in concert with an utterly relentless ensemble including Joseph Jarman, this brutally abrasive debut is a monumental entry in the free jazz canon. Characterized by furious, lung-shredding saxophone outbursts and formless, aggressive percussion, it stands as an uncompromising, screaming manifestation of Black radical energy.
