Album Notes & Community Reviews
The free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements returns with 'Future Present Past', another potent and politically charged statement. The album features the incendiary spoken-word poetry of Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother) over a backdrop of intense, free-form improvisation from the ensemble. It's a powerful and uncompromising work that channels the spirit of spiritual and avant-garde jazz.
