Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring a stellar quintet that includes vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson and pianist Joe Sample, the West Coast tenor saxophonist delivers a deeply focused, muscular set. 'The Peace-Maker' thrives on the sharp interplay between Land's dark, robust tone and Hutcherson's shimmering harmonic structures. The recording highlights a transitional period where rigorous hard bop was beginning to absorb freer, more modal impulses.
