Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as his final studio session for Blue Note records before taking a nearly decade-long recording hiatus to focus on education, this fierce post-bop set highlights the saxophonist's searing, emotionally intense tone. Backed by a phenomenal quintet featuring Woody Shaw and Jack DeJohnette, the deeply complex, hard-swinging compositions successfully bridge the gap between hard bop and avant-garde exploration.
