Album Notes & Community Reviews
Another landmark from the early days of the AACM. Joseph Jarman's debut as a leader blends the textural explorations of his peers with a deep, spiritual, and ritualistic quality. The title track showcases Jarman's poetic sensibilities and his 'little instruments' concept, creating a soundscape that is at once meditative and intense. It further established the Chicago avant-garde as a major new force in creative music.
