Rag, Bush and All

by Henry Threadgill Sextet

Rag, Bush and All cover art

Henry Threadgill masterfully directs his unconventional, dual-drummer ensemble through a vibrant and impossibly complex set of avant-garde compositions. The record is characterized by its dense, weaving polyphony and unpredictable structural shifts, demanding intense technical proficiency from its improvisers. It perfectly balances wild, chaotic energy with highly sophisticated modern jazz arrangements.
