Album Notes & Community Reviews

This transcendent session unites three titans of the avant-garde for an exploration of profound acoustic interplay. Don Pullen's percussive, gospel-tinged piano clusters serve as the perfect foil for Jarman's expressive woodwinds and Moye's expansive, polyrhythmic 'Sun Percussion'. The trio achieves a remarkable balance of chaotic freedom and deep, soulful structural cohesion.
