Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released posthumously after his tragic murder, this double LP captures the brilliant trumpeter's final studio sessions and points toward a radical new direction in his music. Expanding his quintet to include Grachan Moncur III and Bobbi Humphrey, the compositions stretch out into deeply progressive, modal explorations that flirt heavily with spiritual and avant-garde jazz. It serves as a heartbreakingly profound final statement from a hard bop legend.
